Billy Barlow was a poor boy That's why he robbed the UnionGrove Bank He was a sweet talking ladies man (F) That's what he'd have ladies all to think The secret to a long life Is knowing when it's time to go The secret to a long life Is knowing when it's time to go So when the posse came riding Billy went hiding down south Holed up in a shack with Maria With the black hair and the ruby red mouth So when this news reached her lover Billy ran for cover, don't you know And when the bullets started ringing Billy started singing "Time to go...." Billy headed north where the Sands of the Badlands blow But in his dreams he's south He's still kissing that ruby red mouth
