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 - I shot you down
Bang bang - you hit the ground
Bang bang - that awful sound
Bang bang - I used to shoot you down
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
Now he's gone I don't know why
Until this day sometimes I cry
He didn't even say good bye
He didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang - he shot me down
Bang bang - I hit the ground
Bang bang - that awful sound
Bang bang - my baby shot me down
