Ya shouldna' done that son!
Billy Bolero lost his guns tonight
And the mission bells were shinin' bright
Maria Maracha's father took his shotgun down
And he put poor Billy in the ground
Ring...
Ring...
Go the mission bells
Billy Bolero lost his guns tonight
Ring...
Ring...
Go the mission bells
Billy Bolero lost his guns tonight
In the cantina, Maria she danced in a velvet gown
It was on the day that Billy come to town
She looked across the room to where he stood
And they fell in love as only lovers could
Ring...
Ring...
Go the mission bells
Billy Bolero lost his guns tonight
Ring...
Ring...
Go the mission bells
Billy Bolero lost his guns to mine
She was promised to be wed to another man
But he wanted her and Billy made his stand
But though he had killed many men before
Billy Bolero he won't kill no more
Ring...
Ring...
Go the mission bells
Billy Bolero lost his guns tonight
Ring...
Ring...
Go the mission bells
Billy Bolero lost his guns tonight
By the chapel, where the flowers grow
They took their love, and then they wanted more
But it was forbidden for the virgin child
But Billy took his love, and then it drove him wild
Ring...
Ring...
Go the mission bells
Billy Bolero lost his guns tonight
Ring...
Ring...
Go the mission bells
Billy Bolero lost his guns tonight
Billy Bolero lost his guns tonight
Billy Bolero lost his guns tonight
Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring
Go the mission bells
Billy Bolero lost his guns tonight
