1. 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

R: Bang bang, he shot me down
   Bang bang, I hit the ground
   Bang bang, that the awful sound
   Bang bang, my baby shot me down

2. Seasons came and changed the time
   when I grew up, I called him mine
   He would always laugh and say
   Remember when we used to play
R:

3. Music played and people sang
   Just for me the church bells rang
   After echoes from a gun
   We both vowed that we'd be one

R:
   He shot me down...
   He shot me... down...

4. Now he's gone, I don't know why
   Until this day, sometimes I cry
   He didn't even say 'Goodbye'
   He didn't take the time to lie

R: +
   (Bang bang,) he shot me down
   (Bang bang,) I hit the ground
   (Bang bang) that the awful sound
   (Bang bang,) my baby shot me down, shot me down...
