Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Me And Billy The Kid lyrics

Well, me and Billy The Kid never got along I didn't like the way he co*ked his hat and he wore his gun all wrong Well, we had the same girlfriend and he never forgot it She had a cute little Chihuahua till 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 did wind He crippled a piano player for playin' his favorite song No, me and Billy The Kid, never got along Yeah, me and Billy The Kid never got along I didn't like the way he buckled his belt 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 señorita He gave her silver and he paid her hotel bill But it was me she loved, she said she always will I'd always go see her when Bill was gone No, me and Billy The Kid, we never got along Yeah, me and Billy The Kid never got along I didn't like the way he tied his shoes an' he wore his gun all wrong One day, I said to Billy: "I 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', it was driving me mad Billy reached for his gun but his gun was on wrong No, me and Billy The Kid, we never got along No, 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 into the hotel, I got a room with a shower We lay and listen to that watch tick hour after hour Outside, I hear the wind blowin' oh so strong No, me and Billy The Kid, we never got along We never got along, we never got along We never got along, we never got along
