The Overtones
Me And Billy The Kid Never Got Along
[Verse]
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 pocket watch that he never didwind
He crippled a piano player
For playin' his favorite song
No, me and Billy the Kid never got along

[Verse]
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
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
[Verse]
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
One day I said to Billy
I've got this foolproof scheme
We'll rob Wells Fargo
It's bustlin' in the seams
I admit that I framed, but I don't feel bad
'Cause the way that I was livin' was driving me mad
Billy reached for his gun
But his gun was on wrong
Yeah, me and Billy the Kid never got along

[Verse]
Me and Billy the Kid never got along
But I did like the way he swayed in the wind
While I played him my favoritesong
Now Maria sings harmony with me
To La Cucaracha
She winds her silver pocket watch
And pets her new chihuahua
I moved into a hotel and got a room with a showe
We lay and listentothat watch tick hour after hour
Outside, I hear the wind
Blowin' oh so strong
Me and Billy the Kid never got along
