Well, me and Billy The Kid never got along:
I didn't like the way he cocked his hat and he wore his gun all wrong.
Well, we had the same girlfriend and he never forgot it.
She had a cute little Chihuahua till one day he up and shot it.

He rode the hard country down the New Mexico line.
He had a silver pocket watch that he never did wind.
He crippled a piano player for playin' his favorite song.
Yeah, me and Billy The Kid, we ain't never got along.

Yeah, me and Billy The Kid never got along:
I didn't like the way he buckled his belt and he wore his gun all wrong.
He was bad to the bone, all hopped up on speed.
I would've left him alone if it wasn't for that senorita:
He gave her silver and he paid her hotel bill.
But it was me she loved: she said she always will.
I'd always go see her whenever Billy was gone
Yeah, me and Billy The Kid, we never got along.

Instrumental break

Yeah, me and Billy The Kid never got along:
I didn't like the way he buckled his boots an' he wore his gun all wrong.
One day, I said to Billy: "I got this foolproof scheme.
"We'll rob Wells Fargo, it's bustin at the seams."
I admit that I framed him and I don't feel bad
because the way I was livin' was drivin' me mad.
Yeah, Billy reached for his gun but his gun was on wrong.
Yeah, me and Billy The Kid, we never got along.

Well, me and Billy The Kid never got along:
But I did like the way he swayed in the wind while I played him his favorite song.
Now my baby sings harmony with me, to "La Cucaracha".
She winds her silver pocket watch and pets her new Chihuahua.
I moved into the hotel, I got a room with a shower.
We lay an' listen to that watch tick hour after hour.
Outside, I hear the wind blowin' oh so strong:
Me and Billy The Kid, we never got along!

We never got along.

AWESOME! That's a great one. The "Blaze of Glory" only came to mind because of the "I'll make ya famous" quote.

Your best bet is to call 610.935.3444 and talk to whoever answers the phone and explaine your situation to them. They will ask a bunch of questions about your true waist size, hip size, fabric choices and loads of other personal, and not so personal questions.

When you are done answering all the questions, provide a credit card number and sit back and wait. In a few weeks (or days) you will get a package delivered to your door that will allow you to join the ranks of the kilted and famous!

Oh, but it is - just don't open that letter from Visa the next month asking for money ... it's all a scam.

Yea it is almost painless, the only problem is the wait, but once it gets to you, it is all worth it.

I would love to be famous (well I almost am, but that's a post for the off topic section....)

But all I have ATM from USAK is T-shirts, hose, and flashes. Even with proper sporran placement, that is hard to sell on a family friendly site. Perhaps in the spring when I have my semi-trad edzell.......
