[Verse 1]
AmIn the southern part of Texas, east andG west of El Paso Where the mighty Franklin Mountains guard theAm trail to Mexico Theres a new made widow cryin' and aG hearse a-rollin slow And IEm guess that Devil's passed this way aAmgain
[Verse 2]
AmTheres a lathered sorrel stallion runninG through the Joshua Trees A young man in the saddle with hisAm coat tails in the breeze Got a six gun on his right hip and aG rifle at his knee And he'sEm dealin' in a game that he can't wAmin
[Chorus]
AmPoor Billy Bonney, you'reG only twenty-one Pat Garrett's got your name on everyAm bullet in his gun Each notch you carved on your six-gun's got aG bloody tale to tell Well, you're a mile ahead of Garrett and aEm step outside ofAm hell
[Verse 3]
AmThem fancy clothes you're wearin' and theG women in your bed Can't take away the faces of theAm men that you left dead As you ride across the badlands with aG price upon your head EmNow that wheel of fortune starts toAm turn
[Verse 4]
AmYour reputation's grown 'til its theG biggest in the land And there ain't a lot of people left whoAm wanna call your hand And I guess you'll go down shootin' justG like all branded men EmAnd when you shake hands with the Devil you getAm burned
[Chorus]
AmPoor Billy Bonney, you'reG only twenty-one Pat Garrett's got your name on everyAm bullet in his gun Each notch you carved on your six-gun's got aG bloody tale to tell Well, you're a mile ahead of Garrett and aEm step outside ofAm hell
[Instrumental] Am G Em Am G Em Am G Em [Chorus]
AmPoor Billy Bonney, you'reG only twenty-one Pat Garrett's got your name on everyAm bullet in his gun Each notch you carved on your six-gun's got aG bloody tale to tell You're a mile ahead of Garrett and a Emstep outside ofAm hell
