"Bang, Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" lyrics

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, my baby shot me 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 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

My baby, oh, oh
Oh, my baby, oh, oh
My baby, baby
Oh, my baby shot me down
My baby shot me down
