Buddy was a guitar slinger H was known to be the best And he played it with his left hand He was the fastest in the west He was born in Lubbock, TX In the year of '34 And he fixed his teeth up good And went to Clovis to record Pat Garrett, his producer He was best friends with the Kid Until the day they argued Over how he'd be recorded "Hand over that guitar, amigo Give it to that session guy" And Buddy said "Pat, That'll be The Day that I die" Buddy the Kid This is what he did Buddy the Kid So Pat booked him a tour On a big old aeroplane But all Buddy wanted to do was Stay home with Marie Elaine So he rounded up his posse The Crickets was his gang And they abandoned the whole tour Ands they went down south on the lam Buddy the Kid This is what he did Buddy the Kid They holed up in The Land of Disenchantment for a while Till someone phoned the studio: "Tell Pat we've got the Kid" Pat Garrett smiled. And somewhere in a grave Beyond Highway 84 Lies the body of your Buddy By his favourite record store He was shot down by his producer For being true to his own art And that is where his life ends And his legend starts Oh, Buddy the Kid I'll tell you what he did Buddy the Kid Oh, Buddy the Kid That is what he did Buddy the Kid
