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

Bang bang, He shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, That awful sound
Bang bang, My baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
And I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, You hit the gorund
Bang bang, That awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down

Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang

Now he's gone I don't know why
until this days sometimes I cry
he didn't even say goodbye
he didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang, He shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, That awful sound
Bang bang, My baby shot me down
