(The Ballad of) Buddy Kid

Well Buddy Kid Was with his friends Black hood on the head And a stick in his hand Then Buddy Kid Was giving orders No violence Just a little fear Ten o'clock rang Big ol' George came His basket full of sweets That his wife made him Well this time Buddy Kid Waiting at the corner Will grab the great cookie of Georgie's wife Well they jumped from the dark Screaming on Big George Who in response was Barking like a dog Then ol' Shaky Parky blind from one eye heard the yelling sound Of George and drew his gun Out of his pocket He turned and shot At where the sound was coming from Then a bullet flew Right in the head of Buddy Kid Right in the head of Buddy Kid In the head Of Buddy Kid Well to the policeman Shaky Parky veteran of the civil war Showed the shiny license he got from the NRA And at the courtyard He yelled 'tis my right To carry a gun Constitution ain't no pun Well he was released and went back home A whisky in his shaking hand He put under his pillow The gun that killed Buddy Kid Yeah the gun that killed Buddy Kid The gun that killed Buddy Kid The gun that killed Buddy Kid Yeah the gun that killed Buddy Kid The gun that killed Buddy Kid The gun that killed Buddy Kid The gun that killed Buddy Kid The gun that killed Buddy Kid
