I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang
He shot me down
Bang bang
I hit the ground

Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang bang
My baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang
I shot you down
Bang bang
You hit the ground

Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang bang
I used to shoot you down

Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang

Now he's gone I don't know why
And till this day sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang
He shot me down
Bang bang
I hit the ground

Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang bang
My baby shot me down
