Compositor: Sonny Bono
My baby shot me down
I was five and he was six (badoo)
We rode on horses made of sticks (badoo, ba, ba)
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
(Bang bang bang)
He shot me down
(Bang bang)
I hit the ground
(Bang bang)
That awful sound
My baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time (badoo)
When I grew up, I called him mine (badoo, ba, ba)
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play?
(Bang bang bang)
Oh, I shot you down
(Bang bang)
You hit the ground
(Bang bang)
That awful sound
Music played and people sang
Just for you the church bells rang
Now he's gone, I don't know why (badoo)
Oh, 'til this day, I cry (badoo, ba, ba)
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't have the time to lie
(Bang bang bang)
Oh, I shot you down
(Bang bang)
You hit the ground
(Bang bang)
That awful sound
(Bang bang bang)
Oh, I shot you down
(Bang bang)
The way you hit the ground
(Bang bang)
That awful sound
My baby shot me
My baby shot me
My baby shot me down
