(intro)
charming billy
billy bonny
you’ve worn a lot of names
but you’re wanted just the same
as billy the kid

(verse 1)
shot a man in arizona
billy’s ridin’ hard tonight
had to leave fort grande city
k!lled a bully in broad daylight

billy’s heading for where he came from
heading back to old new mexico
he’s got friends on the ruidoso
they’ll hide him out wherever he goes

charming billy, billy bonny
you’re only seventeen
but your future will be seen
as billy the kid

billy joined up with the regulators
as the lincoln county war began
small young boy with a big sombrero
but rough and tough as any man
billy earned his reputation
with a friendly smile and a smoking gun
the spanish girls loved young billy
their blue+eyed hero he’d become

(chorus)
charming billy
billy bonny
you loved to dance and sing
never worried about a thing
billy the kid

(verse 2)
they hired pat garett to catch young billy
a one+time friend, he knew him well
pat cornered billy in a rockhouse cabin
near stinkin’ springs as folks do tell

sentenced to hang in a town of lincoln
billy made his bold escape
both his guards died from thinkin’
that a shackled young boy couldn’t break away
(fara, laughing)

(chorus)
charming billy, billy bonny
the world knows your name
you’ve caught up to your frame
billy the kid
(verse 3)
billy could’ve kept his freedom, by riding south to mexico
but he wanted his friends and senoritas
so to fort sumner he did go

just about the stroke of midnight
a shock rang out in the darkened room
pat garett’s bullet k!lled young billy
his short life ended way too soon

(chorus)
charming billy
billy bonny
you just turned 21
at the wrong end of a gun

(outro)
charming billy
billy bonny
you just turned 21
at the wrong end of a gun

charming billy
