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
When I grew up I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, oh, my baby shot me down

Oh, my baby shot me down

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

Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby

My baby, oh, my baby (yeah)
Oh, sweet baby, baby, baby, oh, my baby
Oh, my baby, baby (yeah)
Oh, my baby shot me down!

Oh, my baby shot me down (uh, yeah)
Oh, baby, hm, baby
That awful sound
Bang bang, you used to shot me down
