《The Ballad of Billy the Kid》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad Of Billy The Kid - Billy Joel

[00:01:02] From a town known as Wheeling West Virginia

[00:01:08] Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand

[00:01:14] And his daring life of crime

[00:01:17] Made him a legend in his time

[00:01:20] 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

[00:01:46] And his age and his size

[00:01:49] Took the teller by surprise

[00:01:53] And the word spread of Billy the Kid

[00:02:00] Well he never traveled heavy

[00:02:03] Yes he always rode alone

[00:02:06] And he soon put many older guns to shame

[00:02:12] And he never had a sweetheart

[00:02:14] And he never had a home

[00:02:17] But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name

[00:02:23] Well he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma

[00:02:29] And the law just could not seem to track him down

[00:02:34] And it served his legend well

[00:02:37] For the folks they'd love to tell

[00:02:40] 'Bout when Billy the Kid came to town

[00:03:41] Well one cold day a posse captured Billy

[00:03:47] And the judge said "String 'im up for what he did "

[00:03:52] And the cowboys and their kin

[00:03:55] Like the sea came pourin' in

[00:03:58] To watch the hangin' of Billy the Kid

[00:04:07] Well he never traveled heavy

[00:04:09] Yes he always rode alone

[00:04:12] And he soon put many older guns to shame

[00:04:18] And he never had a sweetheart

[00:04:20] But he finally found a home

[00:04:23] Underneath the boothill grave that bears his name

[00:04:29] From a town known as Oyster Bay Long Island

[00:04:35] Rode a boy with a six-pack in his hand

[00:04:41] And his daring life of crime

[00:04:44] Made him a legend in his time

[00:04:47] East and west of the Rio Grande
