paroles de chanson The Ballad of Billy the Kid - 12 Gardens Live - Billy Joel

From a town known as Wheeling, West Virginia
Rode a boy with a six gun in his hand
And his daring life of crime
Made him a legend in his time, east and west of the Rio Grande
Well he started with a bank in Colorado
In the pocket of his vest, a colt he hid
And his age, and his size, took the teller by surprise and
The word spread of Billy the Kid
Well he never traveled heavy
Yes he always rode alone
And he soon put many older guns to shame
And he never had a sweetheart
And he never had a home
But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name
Well he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma
And the largest could not seem to track him down
But it served his legend well, cause the folks they love to tell about
When Billy the Kid came to town
One cold day a possy captured Billy
And the judge said "String him up!" for what he did
And the cowboys and their kin
Like the sea came pouring in to watch
The hanging of Billy the Kid
Well he never traveled heavy!
Yes he always rode alone!
And he soon put many older guns to shame
And he never had a sweetheart
Though he finally found a home
Underneath the boothill grave the bares his name
From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island
Rode a boy with a six pack in his hand
And his daring life of crime
Made him a legend in his time east and west of the Rio Grande
