Welcome back to Farm Aid 4.
Our next guest came highballing out of a Texas
Panhandle with a tank full of rockin' country energy.
Please [E] welcome Joe [G] Ely.
Well me and Billy the Kid never got along.
I didn't like the way he cocked his hat.
He wore his gun all along.
[C] But we had the same girlfriend and he never forgot it.
[G] She had a cute little
Chihuahua till one day I shot it.
[D] He rode the hard country down the New
Mexico line.
[G] He had a silver pocket watch that he never did want.
[D] He crippled a
piano player for playing his favorites.
[G] No me and Billy the Kid we never got
along.
Yeah [Em] me and Billy the Kid never got along.
[G] I didn't like the way he buckled his
belt and he wore his gun all along.
He [G] was bad to the bone.
Oh, [C] hopped up on speed.
I would have left him alone.
If it wasn't for that senorita he gave her [D] silver and he paid her hotel bill.
But it
was me she loved.
She said she always will.
[A] I'd always go and see her when
Billy was gone.
[G] No me and Billy the Kid we never got along.
Yeah me and Billy the Kid
never got along.
I didn't like the way he tied his shoes and he wore his gun all
along.
[C] One day I said to Billy [Am] I got this foolproof scheme.
[G] We'll rob Wells Fargo
which is busting at the seams.
I [A] admit that I framed him [D] but I don't feel bad.
Which is [G] my way of getting even with a man who stole my hat.
Yeah Billy reached
for his gun but his gun was on wrong.
[G] No me and Billy the Kid we never got along.
Yeah me and Billy the Kid never got along.
But I did like the way he swayed in the
wind while I played him his favorite song.
[C] Now my baby sings harmony with me.
[G] She whines her silver pocket watch and pets her new [D] chihuahua.
I pulled into the hotel.
I got a room with a shower.
We lay and listen to that watch tick hour after hour.
[E] Outside I hear the wind blowing oh [D] so strong.
[G] No me and Billy the Kid we never got along.
We never got along.
We never got along.
We never got along.
