The Mounties - Nelson Eddy
Written by：Joel Billy
I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid
I'll sing of some desperate deeds that he did
Way out in New Mexico long time ago
When a man's only chance was his own forty-four
When Billy the Kid was a very young lad
In old Silver City he went to the bad
Way out in the West with a gun in his hand
At the age of twelve years he did kill his first man
There's Mexican maidens play guitars and sing
Songs about Billy their boy bandit king
Ere his young manhood has reached his sad end
With a notch an his pistol for twenty one men
Was on a sad night when poor Billy died
He said to his friend I'm not satisfied
Twenty one men I have put bullets through
Sheriff Pat Garrett must make twenty two
Now this is how billy the kid met his fate
The bright moon was shining the hour was late
Shot down by Pat Garrett who once was his friend
The young outlaw's life is now come to its end
There's many a man with a face fine and fair
Who start out in life with a chance to be square
But just like poor Billy they wander astray
And loses his lives in the very same way
