Billy The Kid kept roving around,
A campfire here, a cowhand there,
He traveled alone thru country & town,
Always headed somewhere,

One certain day he rode into town,
His forty-five strapped on his side,
Just to stop and drink one round,
Then continue on with his ride,

He hitched his horse and went in thru,
The Saloons bat-wing doors,
He didn't see anyone he knew,
Just a couple of cowboys and some 'hores,

He moseyed on up, ordered a drink,
"Sarsaparilla I'll 'ave 'ere for me,"
Down the hatch, smooth as a wink,
Then he was given another for free,

Billy thanked the man kindly, turned around,
To leave thru the bat-winged door,
A cowboy stood up and stared Billy down,
Looking for trouble and more!

(Cowboy); "Hey boy! Let me teach ya how ta shoot!"
"Come 'ere! gimme 'dat there gun!"
"If'n ya don't I'm gonna plant dis 'ere boot!"
"I'll show ya how the real West is run!"

(Billy): "Mister, I'm not here ta play"
"I've dealt with yer kind before"
"So please kindly step outa my way"
"And be thankful ya don't see me no more,"

(Cowboy): "Boy! yer messin' wit Danger Dan, man!"
And yer jawin's 'bout ta seal yer fate!"

(Billy): 'Mister! yer soon ta be Dan the damned man!"
'If yer gun ain't shootin' fast and straight!"

"Like a rattlesnake springing from the devil's hand!"
"Billy's gun cleared his holster" "that fast!"
"Billy's bullet knocked the gun outa Danger Dan's hand!"
"In a single straight shot blast!"

(Danger Dan): "Uh-h-h!.. I ain't ever seen a gun so fast!"
"As the one ya shot sure coulda killed me!"
"If'n ya pardon my trouble, may I ask,"
"What is yer name....really?"

(Billy): "Mister! It's how ya live, not how fast the gun,"
"That makes a man a man,"
"Most my life's been on the run,"
'Killin's no future or plan"
"I'm stranger ta most, still livin' the past,"
"Feelin' bad ta things I did,"
"Some crossed my path, ain't here ta boast,"
"I'm Billy The Kid!"
