I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
You wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang, bang, you shot me down
Bang, bang, you hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
My baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
We would always laugh and say
Remember how we used to play
Bang, bang, you shot you down
Bang, bang, I hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
My baby shot me down
We used to play, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang
Now he's gone, I don't know why
'Til this day, I sometimes cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie
Bang, bang, you shot me down
Bang, bang, I hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
Yeah, bang, bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
My baby shot me down
