1. I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
R: Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that the awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
2. Seasons came and changed the time
when I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play
R:
3. Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
After echoes from a gun
We both vowed that we'd be one
R:
He shot me down...
He shot me... down...
4. Now he's gone, I don't know why
Until this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say 'Goodbye'
He didn't take the time to lie
R: +
(Bang bang,) he shot me down
(Bang bang,) I hit the ground
(Bang bang) that the awful sound
(Bang bang,) my baby shot me down, shot me down...
