Lyrics
Billy walks into a bar
Six shooter in his hand
Points it at me
Shows me the cards in his other hand
Say's 'I've been cheated'
I've only got a second to figure out what to do
I say, 'Billy, sure is good to see you!'
Say's 'I've been cheated'
Then, Bang...Billy's on the ground
I've been cheated
Seems the bartender doesn't like shootin' in his bar
Unless he's doin' the shootin'
I've been cheated
These were the last words we heard Billy say
Funny how people relate, even today
