Billy The Kid Lyrics - Singles - Bobbie Gentry

Billy the kid I understand you 

It really ain't your fault that the west is so wild 

Billy the kid cain't reprimand you 

You must have been deprived when you was a child 

Whoopee ti yi yipee yipee, shoot 'em in the belly Billy 

Ti yi yipee yipee, shoot 'em in the head 

Ti yi yipee yipee, saw you on the telly Billy 

Late late showdown - down dead 

You're headed for the last round up 

Your corral's OK 

But your morale's in a sad bad way 

Billy the kid, you should have been a good guy 

If you had had the proper guidance from your dad 

Billy the kid, nobody should die 

Environmental circumstances made you go bad 

Whoopee ti yi yipee yipee, shoot 'em in the belly Billy 

Ti yi yipee yipee, Billy give 'em hell 

Ti yi yipee yipee, saw you on the telly Billy 

Farewell welfare, farewell 

Now you'll be a swingin' from the top of a tree 

You're being punished with a capitol P 

Oh me
