lyrics

(THE BALLAD OF) BUDDY KID
Well Buddy Kid was with his friends
Black hood on the head and a stick in his hand
And Buddy Kid was giving orders
No violence just a little fear
Ten o’clock rang, Big ol’ George came
His basket full of sweets that his wife made him
Well this time Buddy Kid waiting at the corner
Will grab the great cookie of Georgie’s wife
They jumped from the dark, screaming on big George
Who in response was barking like a dog
Then ol’ Shaky Parky blind from one eye
Heard the yelling sound of George and drew his gun out of his pocket
He turned and shot at where the sound was coming from
And a bullet flew
Right in the head of Buddy Kid
Right in the head of Buddy Kid
In the head of Bueddy Kid
Well to the policeman Shaky Parky veteran of the civil war
Showed the shiny license he got from the NRA
And at the courtyard he yelled ‘tis my right
To carry a gun, Constitution ain’t no pun
Then he was released and went back home
And a whisky in his shaking hand
He put under his pillow
The gun that killed Buddy Kid
Yeah the gun that killed Buddy Kid
The gun that killed Buddy Kid
The gun that killed Buddy Kid
Yeah the gun that killed Buddy Kid
The gun that killed Buddy Kid
The gun that killed Buddy Kid
Yeah the gun that killed Buddy Kid
The gun that killed Buddy Kid
