Joe Ely - Me & Billy The Kid Lyrics
Me and Billy the Kid never got alongI didn't like the way he *****ed his hatand he wore his gun all wrong.We had the same girlfriendand he never forgot itShe had a cute little Chihuahuauntil one day he up and shot itHe rode the hard country down the New Mexico lineHe had a silver pocketwatch that he never did wind.He crippled the piano playerfor playin' his favorite songNo, Me and Billy the Kid never got alongMe and Billy the Kid never got alongI didn't like the way he parted his hairand he wore his gun all wrongHe was bad to the boneAll hopped up on speed.I would've left him aloneIf it wasn't for that SenoritaHe gave her silver and he paid her hotel billBut it was me she loved and she said she always will.I'd always go and see herwhen Billy was goneYeah, Me and Billy the Kid never got alongMe and Billy the Kid never got alongI didn't like the way he tied his shoesand he wore his gun all wrongOne day I said to Billy"I've 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 badCause the way I was livin' was drivin' me madBilly reached for his gunbut his gun was on wrongYeah, Me and Billy the Kid never got alongMe and Billy the Kid never got alongBut I did like the way he swayed in the windWhile I played him his favorite songNow my baby sings harmony with meTo "La Cucaracha"She winds her silver pocket watchAnd pets her new ChihuahuaI moved in to the Hotel and got a room with a showerWe lay and listen to that watch tick hour after hourOutside I hear the windblowin' o so strongMe and Billy the Kid never got along
