《The Ballad of Billy the Kid(Live at Madison Square Garden， New York， NY - December 31， 1999)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad of Billy the Kid (Live) - Billy Joel

[00:01:06] From a town known as Wheeling West Virginia

[00:01:11] Rode a boy with a six gun in his hand

[00:01:17] And his daring life of crime

[00:01:19] Made him a legend in his time

[00:01:21] East and west of the Rio Grande

[00:01:35] Well he started with a bank in Colorado

[00:01:40] In the pocket of his vest a Colt he hid

[00:01:45] And his age and his size

[00:01:48] Took the teller by surprise

[00:01:51] And the word spread of Billy the kid

[00:01:58] Well he never travelled heavy

[00:02:01] Yes he always rode alone

[00:02:03] And he soon put many older guns to shame

[00:02:08] And he never had a sweetheart

[00:02:11] And he never had a home

[00:02:13] But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name

[00:02:19] Well he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma

[00:02:24] And the largest could not seem to track him down

[00:02:28] And it served his legend well

[00:02:31] For the folks they loved to tell about

[00:02:34] When Billy the kid came to town

[00:03:30] One cold day a posse captured Billy

[00:03:35] And the judge said String him up for what he did

[00:03:40] And the cowboys and their kin

[00:03:42] Like the sea came pouring in

[00:03:44] To watch the hanging of Billy the kid

[00:03:53] Eell he never travelled heavy

[00:03:55] Yes he always rode alone

[00:03:58] And he soon put many older guns to shame

[00:04:03] And he never had a sweetheart

[00:04:05] But he finally found a home

[00:04:08] Under the boothill grave that bears his name

[00:04:14] From a town known as Oyster Bay Long Island

[00:04:19] Rode a boy with a six pack in his hand

[00:04:25] And his daring life of crime

[00:04:27] Made him a legend in his time

[00:04:29] East and west of the Rio Grande
