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 these days sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye, 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
Written by Sonny Bono
