I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid,
I'll sing of some desperate deeds that he did,
Way out in New Mexi-co long long a-go,
When a- man's on-ly chance,
Was his old forty-four.
When Billy the Kid was a ve-ry young lad,
In old Silver City he went to the bad.
Way out in the West with a gun in his hand,
At the age of twelve years,
He did kill his first man.
