In the days of William Bonney

better known as Bill the kid

A young cowboy named Joey Steel

was about to make his bid

Well he heard one day that Bill

the kid had just rode into town

And if he could take him he would be

the fastest gun around

He was just a kid of seventeen

but he had a lighting hand

And he said it's time I showed the world

that I've become a man

Everyone thinks Billy is the fastest gun around

But they will know I'm faster when

they see me shoot him down

They finally came together down

on main street just at five

The people were all gathered

wondering who'd be left alive

Billy knew that Joey wanted notches on his gun

And he wished that he could give him

those he'd carved upon his own

Joey's hand went to his side

he was sure that he had won

But before he even fired he saw

the smoke of Billy's gun

And he felt the bullet hit him hard

and before his eyes he saw

His wasted life pass quickly

ending with this fatal draw

Billy breathed more easily

and he put away his gun

And he tried to ease his conscience for

the wrong that he had done

Then he saddled up his horse

and headed westward out of town

And he wondered just how long he'd be

the fastest gun around
