1. 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

Ref. Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that the awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

2. 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

Ref. Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that the awful sound
Bang bang , I used to shoot you down

3. Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
After echoes from a gun
We both vowed that we'd be one

Ref.Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang , I hit the ground
Bang bang that the awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
He shot me down...
He shot me... down...

4. 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

Ref.(Bang bang,) he shot me down
(Bang bang,) I hit the ground
(Bang bang) that the awful sound
(Bang bang,) my baby shot me down
(Bang bang,) he shot me down
(Bang bang,) I hit the ground
(Bang bang) that the awful sound
(Bang bang,) my baby shot me down, shot me down...
