[Verse 1]
I was five and he was six (He was six)
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
[Chorus]
Bang, bang, he shot me down
Bang, bang, I hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
Bang, bang, my baby shot me down
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
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?"
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Music played and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang, oh-mm
Music played and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang, oh
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Now he's gone, I don't know why
'Til this day, I sometimes cry
He didn't even say goodbye
Didn't take the time to lie
[Chorus]
Bang, bang, he shot me down
Bang, bang, I hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
My baby shot me down
