There’s guns across the river aimin’ at ya, lawman on your trail, he’d like to catch ya

Bounty hunters, too, they’d like to get ya, Billy, they don’t like you to be so free

 

Campin’ out all night on the veranda, dealin’ cards ’til dawn in the hacienda

Up to Boot Hill they’d like to send ya, Billy, don’t you turn your back on me

 

Playin’ around with some sweet señorita, into her dark hallway she will lead ya

In the shadows of the maizes she will greet ya, Billy, you’re so far away from home

 

 

Billy 4 (Bob Dylan) Soundtrack album

 

20 January 1973, Mexico City, Mexico, CBS Discos Studio, 1st Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid session. Released on Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid Soundtrack Album

 

There's guns across the river about to pound you, there's a lawman on your trail like to surround you

Bounty hunters are dancing all around you, Billy, they don't like you to be so free

 

Camping out all night on the veranda, walking in the streets down by the hacienda

Up to Boot Hill they like to send you, Billy, don't you turn your back on me.

 

There's mirrors inside the minds of crazy faces, bullet holes and rifles in their cases

There is always one more notch in four more aces, Billy, and you're playing all alone

 

Playing around with some sweet signorita, into her dark chamber she will greet you

In the shadows of the maizes she will lead you, Billy, and you're going all alone

 

They say that Pat Garrett's got your number, so sleep with one eye open, when you wander

If every little sound just might be thunder, thunder from the barrel of his gun.

 

There's always another stranger sneaking glances, some trigger-happy fool willing to take chances

Some old whore from San Pedro'll make advances, advances on your spirit and your soul.

 

The businessmen from Taos want you to go down, so they've hired mister Garrett, he'll force you to slow down

Billy, don't let it make you feel so low down to be hunted by the man who was your friend.

 

So hang on to your woman, if you got one, remember in El Paso once you shot one

I'll be in Santa Fe about one, Billy, you've been running for so long.

 

Gypsy queens will play your grand finale, way down in some Tularosa alley

Maybe in La Rio Pecas valley, Billy, you're so far away from home

Billy, you're so far away from home, Billy, you're so far away from home

Spent the night with one sweet signorita, into her dark hallways she will lead ya

In some lonesome shadow she might greet ya, Billy, you’re so doggone far away from home

 

They say that Pat Garrett's got your number, sleep with one eye open, when you wander

If every little sound just might be thunder, thunder from the barrel of his gun

 

Maybe you will find yourself tomorrow, drinkin’ in some bar to hide your sorrow

Spending the time that you borrow, figuring a way to get back home
