Bang bang you shot me down

Bang bang I hit the ground

Bang bang that awful sound

Bang bang my baby shot me down



I was five and you were six

We rose on horses made of sticks

I wore black you wore white

You would always win the fight



Bang bang you 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

I grew up I called you mine

You would always laugh and say

Remember when we used to play



Bang bang you shot me down

Bang bang I hit the ground

Bang bang that awful sound

Bang bang my baby shot me down



Music played and people sang

Just for me the church bells rang

After echoes from a gun

We both vowed that we'd be one

Now he's gone I don't know why

Sometimes I cry

You didn't say good bye

You didn't take the time to lie



Bang bang you shot me down

Bang bang I hit the ground

Bang bang that awful sound

Bang bang my baby shot me down
