Use A− / A+ to adjust text sizeThe Ballad Of Billy The Kid
From a town known as Wheeling, West VirginiaRode a boy with a six-gun in his handAnd his daring life of crimeMade him a legend in his timeEast and West of the Rio GrandeWell he started with a bank in ColoradoIn the pocket of his vest a Colt he hidAnd his age and his sizeTook the teller by surpriseAnd the word spread of Billy the KidWell he never travelled heavyYes, he always rode aloneAnd he soon put many older guns to shameWell he never had a sweetheartAnd he never had a homeBut the cowboys and the ranchers knew his nameWell he robbed his way from Utah to OklahomaAnd the law just could not seem to track him downAnd it served his legend wellFor the folks they love to tell'Bout when Billy the Kid came to townOne cold day a posse captured BillyAnd the judge said, "String 'im up for what he did."And the cowboys and their kinLike the sea came pourin' inTo watch the hangin' of Billy the KidWell he never travelled heavyYes, he always rode aloneAnd he soon put many older guns to shameWell he never had a sweetheartTho' he finally found a homeUnderneath the Boot Hill grave that bears his nameFrom a town known as Oyster Bay, Long IslandRode a boy with a six-pack in his handAnd his daring life of crimeMade him a legend in his timeEast and West of the Rio Grande
