Frank Sinatra - Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) Lyrics






I was five and she was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black and she wore white
She would always win the fight

Bang bang, she shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

[instrumental]

Seasons came and changed the time
And we grew up, I called her mine
She would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"

"Bang bang, I shot you down"
"Bang bang, you hit the ground"
"Bang bang, that awful sound"
"Bang bang, I used to shoot you down"

[Bridge]
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang

[instrumental]

Now she's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
She didn't even say "goodbye"
She didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang, she shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

  28. M.... S....

    My G Don Toliver has a mean sample of this on his version of Bang Bang Houston stand up

    Full credit to the late Sonny Bono who wrote the song, and Frank who turns this into a classic.

  36. H.... P....

    I can almost sing this. Not Nancy's version.

  50. V.... ....

    Okay okay I just found this version and wow this is better than any else version just wow

  51. V.... ....

    LOVE the original mechanics

  52. M.... L....

    What a morbid, sad song! Sonny Bono wrote this song and Cher had a hit from it in 1966, then Nancy Sinatra recorded it that same year, the Righteous Brothers, and then Frank Sinatra recorded it in 1973 and again in 1981. I really don't know why people like this song -- she shot him down, he fell on the ground, the funeral's church bells rang, etc. Horrible! God think it's in a minor key, guess some people like it for its moroseness.

    M.... L....

    Where can I find 1973 version ?

  53. T.... ....

    What came first this version or Nancy's version?....either way i liked Nancy's version better.

    T.... ....

    I think the lyrics make more sense coming from a woman.

    T.... ....

    Cher sang it first in 1966, Nancy was the second to sing it also in 1966. I believe Frank sang it in 1981.

    T.... ....

    M.J. Leger But why is that? Why can't a man be vulnerable to being metaphorically shot down and rejected by a woman? The genders can be totally interchangeable here.

  54. A.... B....

    My absolute favorite

  55. i.... b....

    I've recently discovered This legend thanks to kaleo's bang bang cover, and I got to say both of them are the definition of quality.

  56. J.... S....

    I love his daughter's cover but holy shit! You can feel the pain with him singing. This is just my honest opinion and he does an amazing job. You can only really ever capture the moment from a song in the perfect mood and setting

    J.... S....

    This song probably justly displays what Sonny Bono was thinking in one of his drug-induced depressions! Why the Sinatras recorded this is anyone's guess, other than it was popular at the time, and they joined the bandwagon to get songs heard by the morbid public!

    J.... S....

    Thought also his Nancy Sinatra sang it better than any version

  57. K.... O....

    terrible version

  58. s.... ....

    2018 👀

  59. j.... t....

    Not saying I know the exact interpretation.... but I'm assuming it's about love and putting 100 % into somebody you think you know and trust and then like a bullet come to the realisation you can't trust anybody but yourself coz the one person you trusted let you down in the most hurtful way . Male or female it's not about gender. It's about being seriously let down . That's my interpretation anyway x

    j.... t....

    joel turner I bet it is!

    I think you hit the nail on the head!

    "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)"






    I was five and she was six

    We rode on horses made of sticks

    I wore black and she wore white

    She would always win the fight



    Bang bang, she shot me down

    Bang bang, I hit the ground

    Bang bang, that awful sound

    Bang bang, my baby shot me down



    [instrumental]



    Seasons came and changed the time

    And we grew up, I called her mine

    She would always laugh and say

    "Remember when we used to play?"



    "Bang bang, I shot you down"

    Now she's gone, I don't know why

    And till this day, sometimes I cry

    She didn't even say "goodbye"

    She didn't take the time to lie



    Bang bang, she shot me down

    Bang bang, I hit the ground

    I was looking for musical.lys...who else??? 😂

    J.... S....

    Joki Sama Musical.ly is a tumor on society, and needs to be removed.

    J.... S....

    @Mentelpe Jenkins​ I know you're right!

    J.... S....

    Joki Sama W T F ?

  68. l.... y....

    can someone tell me if this is the original version?

    l.... y....

    lisbeth young the original version is french, is Sheila : bang bang 😉

    l.... y....

    lisbeth young The original version is by cher (written by her first husband, Sonny Bono)

    l.... y....

    If wikipedia is to be trusted then Cher's English version is the original one ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_Bang_(My_Baby_Shot_Me_Down) ). But strangely enough French lyrics seem to make more sense.

    Masterful Francis Albert. He turns dreck into gold as only he could.

  74. H.... S....

    is this song have any relate or sign to racism that was in america 60s

    H.... S....

    Roy Staggers hhhhhhhhhhh

    H.... S....

    Hussien Shehata
    im pretty sure frank wasnt racist at thise times. Go deeper and listen to his other songs.

    H.... S....

    Sinatra went politically from a JFK Democrat to Reagan Republican. He would've despised Trump because he was never racist at any time in his life. His music was always his interpretation of the song. This one is about failed love.

    H.... S....

    Hussien Shehata It's just music why does it matter

    H.... S....

    NO! Sonny had a dream about his dying, but he hit a tree instead of getting shot down!

  75. b.... ....

    i prefer the version of his daughter Nancy

    b.... ....

    angel ramirez nice

  76. A.... R....

    @dewang trivedi: this was made in 1981. David guetta made his in 2014. So Sinatra proceded him

    A.... R....

    *preceded. PRE-

    A.... R....

    +Demetrio Landeros Regardless of spelling, you were wrong.

    A.... R....

    Your sarcasm filter needs to be cleaned up, please do so, before you comment anything else.

    Detailed Explanation: Sarcasm (def.) - the use of remarks that clearly mean the opposite of what they say, made in order to hurt someone's feelings or to criticize something in a humorous way: (Cambridge University Dictionary)

    Plainly explained to you; sarcasm is a way to insult idiots without them realizing; only you went completely braindead. No shit Frank Sinatra was born, lived and created his art before Nicki Minaj even started, so no... I thought Frank Sinatra was part of Wu-Tang Clan.

    *facepalm*

    A.... R....

    Neil, you cannot say, "regardless of spelling". Education is everything, isn't it? Tony Robson

  77. D.... T....

    Huh .... What a loser.. copied the song from david guetta and skylar Grey... :P

    Lol at the idiots

    He's singin' for the Devil in Hell now!
    But it all mostly sounds like a long, blood-curdling scream.

    p.... p....

    How can you surmise that unless you're in hell too!

    p.... p....

    pop per I mean, the guy was also directly responsible for desegregating the music industry and virtually all of hollywood before segregation was actually made illegal. But he was a player? Wow he should rot in hell lmao

    p.... p....

    You must be very young and impressionable and full of misinformation! No one can judge who belongs in hell (if there even is one) - learn to be nice! Frank Sinatra gave more to music than anyone before, during or since his era. He was also accused of many things he was not guilty of, all because there were many out there who were jealous of his success.

    p.... p....

    What a transparent a pathetic cry for attention.

    You have my pity

    p.... p....

    pop per: And you're probably about to say hello to him there (only he's not there so you'll get there and can't get back!)

  91. C.... ....

    No, actually it was written by Sonny Bono, but Cher was the first one, who performed it. ;-)

  92. H.... G....

    @reallybigcarfreak Actualy Cher did it first in 1966 - Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) :) Nancy Sinatra made her cover of the Cher's song in same year. Her father - Frank Sinatra made his version, as part of the 'She Shot Me Down' album in 1981 - this version here. There are a Dalida version in italian, as far as I know. The Ania Dąbrowska version of Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) is pretty new - it's from march 2010. The instrumental version from 'Kill Bill' is actualy Nancy's version.
