1
In the days of William Bonney
2
Better know as Bill the Kid
3
A young cowboy named Joey Steele
4
Was 'bout to make his bid.
5
Well, they heard one day
6
That Bill the Kid just rode into town
7
And if he could take him
8
He would be fastest gun around.
9
He was just a kid of seventeen
10
But he had a lightin' hand
11
And he said it's time I showed the world
12
That I've become a man.
13
Everyone thinks Billy is
14
The fastest gun around
15
But they will know I'm faster
16
When they see me shoot him down.
17
They finally came together
18
Down on Main Street just at five
19
The people were all gathered
20
Wonderin' who'd be left alive.
21
Billy knew that Joey wanted
22
Notches on his gun
23
And he wished that he could give him
24
Those he'd carved upon his own.
25
Joey's hand went to his side
26
He was sure that he had won
27
But before he even fired he saw
28
The smoke of Billy's gun.
29
And he felt the bullet hit him hard
30
And before his eyes he saw
31
His wasted life pass quickly
32
Ending with this fatal draw.
33
Billy breathed more easily
34
And he put away his gun
35
And he tried to ease his conscience
36
For the wrong that he had done.
37
Then he saddled up his horse
38
And headed westward out of town
39
And he wondered just how long he'd be
40
The fastest gun around...
