Billy Songtext
von Les Shelleys

There′s guns across the river aimin' at ya
Lawman on your trail, he′d like to catch ya
Bounty hunters too, they'd like to get ya
Billy, they don't like you to be so free

Camping out all night on the veranda
Dealing cards ′til dawn in the hacienda
Up to Boot Hill they′d like to send ya
Billy, don't you turn your back on me


There′s eyes behind mirrors in empty places
Bullet holes and scars between the spaces
There's always one more notch and ten more paces
Billy, and you′re walkin' all alone

They say that Pat Garrett′s got your number
So sleep with one eye open when you slumber
Every little sound just might be thunder
Thunder from the barrel of his gun

There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances
Some trigger-happy fool willin′ to take chances
And some old whore from San Pedro to make advances
Advances on your spirit and your soul
Advances on your spirit and your soul
Advances on your spirit and your soul
