[Lyrics from the original song]

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

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

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?"

Music played, and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
Now he's gone, I don't know why
And ‘til this day sometimes I cry
He didn't even say "Goodbye"
He didn't take the time to lie
