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

Oh...

Now he's gone, I don't know why

And 'till this day I sometimes 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

Oh, ooh...

My baby shot me down.

Ah-ooh-ooh...

My baby shot me down

Shot me down

Shot me down, down, down, down, down.
