[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
