Up on the hill he’s hiding the horses
That he just stole from your ranch
Everyone knows your a man of pride and honour
You must catch him yourself
But how could you find bill ?
He’s the best bandit boy around
Your horse’s colt will
Be dead before you shoot him down
With three of your men you’re out in the wild
Danger is everywhere
The snakes, the spiders, the indians, the gangsters,
There’s not enough bullets for that
But how could you find bill ?
He’s the best bandit boy around
And if you ever find him
He – the first – will shoot you down
A week has passed and you don’t see the end
Of your ambitious adventure
The boys are tired , they are starving to death
And so you scream out loud :
« How could I find bill ?
He’s the best bloody bandit around
Up on the high hills
For a few horses I won’t get shot down »
