歌词
在西弗吉尼亚州的惠林小镇上
From a town known as Wheeling, West Virginia
生活着一个骑着马，拿着把左轮手枪的男孩
Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand
他大胆的犯罪生涯
And his daring life of crime
使他成为当时的传奇人物
Made him a legend in his time
名声响彻格兰德河两岸
East and west of the Rio Grande
他从科罗拉多的一家银行开始抢劫
唯一的武器只有背心口袋里的一把左轮手枪
Well, he started with a bank in Colorado
他的年龄和体型
In the pocket of his vest, a Colt he hid
让出纳员大吃一惊
And his age and his size
从此，比利的故事传开了
Took the teller by surprise
他总是轻装上阵
And the word spread of Billy the Kid
他永远单打独斗
很快就让许多老枪相形见绌
Well, he never traveled heavy
他从未有过心上人
Yes, he always rode alone
他从来没有家
And he soon put many older guns to shame
但牛仔和牧场主知道他的名字
And he never had a sweetheart
他从犹他州抢劫到俄克拉荷马州
And he never had a home
一路逍遥法外
But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name
这让关于他的一切成为传奇
对于人们来说，他们很乐意谈论
Well, he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma
当比利来到镇上时候的情景
And the law just could not seem to track him down
一个寒冷的日子一群警察抓住了比利
And it served his legend well
法官说：“他应该被绞死来赎罪！”
For the folks, they'd love to tell
那些牛仔和他们的亲戚
'Bout when Billy the Kid came to town
如同潮水一般汹涌而至
只为观看比利的绞刑
Well, one cold day a posse captured Billy
他总是轻装上阵
And the judge said, "String 'im up for what he did!"
他永远单打独斗
And the cowboys and their kin
很快就让许多老枪相形见绌
Like the sea came pourin' in
他从未有过心上人
To watch the hangin' of Billy the Kid
但他终于找到了家
在那座以他名字命名的墓碑下面
Well, he never traveled heavy
在长岛牡蛎湾
Yes, he always rode alone
生活着一个骑着马，拿着把左轮手枪的男孩
And he soon put many older guns to shame
他大胆的犯罪生涯
And he never had a sweetheart
使他成为当时的传奇人物
But he finally found a home
名声响彻格兰德河两岸
Underneath the boothill grave that bears his name
From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island
Rode a boy with a six-pack in his hand
And his daring life of crime
Made him a legend in his time
East and west of the Rio Grande
