She was five and I was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black and she wore white
She would always win the fight
Bang, bang, she 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 her mine
She 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
The music played and people sang
And just for me the church bells rang
Hey, bang, bang, bang, bang
Hey, bang, bang, bang, bang
Hey, bang, bang, bang, bang
Yeah, bang, bang, bang, bang
Now she's gone, I don't know why
Till this day sometimes I cry
She didn't even say goodbye
She didn't take the time to lie
Bang, bang, she shot me down
Bang, bang, I hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
Bang, bang, my baby shot me down
