Me And Billy The Kid Lyrics - Ely Joe

Me and Billy the Kid never got along 

I didn't like the way he cocked his hat 

and he wore his gun all wrong. 

We had the same girlfriend 

and he never forgot it 

She had a cute little Chihuahua 

until one day he up and shot it 

He rode the hard country down the New Mexico line 

He had a silver pocketwatch that he never did wind. 

He crippled the piano player 

for playin' his favorite song 

No, Me and Billy the Kid never got along 

Me and Billy the Kid never got along 

I didn't like the way he parted his hair 

and he wore his gun all wrong 

He was bad to the bone 

All hopped up on speed. 

I would've left him alone 

If it wasn't for that Senorita 

He gave her silver and he paid her hotel bill 

But it was me she loved and she said she always will. 

I'd always go and see her 

when Billy was gone 

Yeah, Me and Billy the Kid never got along 

Me and Billy the Kid never got along 

I didn't like the way he tied his shoes 

and he wore his gun all wrong 

One day I said to Billy 

"I've got this foolproof scheme" 

We'll rob Wells Fargo 

"It's bustin at the seams." 

I admit that I framed him but I don't feel bad 

Cause the way I was livin' was drivin' me mad 

Billy reached for his gun 

but his gun was on wrong 

Yeah, Me and Billy the Kid never got along 

Me and Billy the Kid never got along 

But I did like the way he swayed in the wind 

While I played him his favorite song 

Now my baby sings harmony with me 

To "La Cucaracha" 

She winds her silver pocket watch 

And pets her new Chihuahua 

I moved in to the Hotel and got a room with a shower 

We lay and listen to that watch tick hour after hour 

Outside I hear the wind 

blowin' o so strong 

Me and Billy the Kid never got along
