Joel, Billy - The Ballad Of Billy The Kid Lyrics

one of Billy's most satisfying songs ... too bad it ever has to end

4:05 is just such a fantastic part of the song

I’m kevin

Beautiful

Sooo underatted

Who's here from Family Guy?

LUMBAGO

2:47 the days avicii 😍😍

The ballad of Peter the kid

What a great musician! His songs just never get old.

I couldn't stop whistling the tune to this song for like three days.

2:55 when peter griffin killed that piano work😂😎

Bull shit, I saw him in around '75-'76 at Tempe AZ. and he did the same song. I'll never forget that. He was just like us back then (he may not remember, but he touched us idiots) Then time goes on and we're all screwed.

You are a godless heathen if you don't love Billy Joel

That song is so masterpiece and joyfulness Billy Joel is always the ultimate singer

Family Guy is the reason why I love this music Peter is so hilarious

Billy the kid brought me here 😁

Yeah, it’s 2019, and I’ve seen the episode at least 20x, but Family Guy and Peter the Kid brought me here.

Underrated banger right here

Liking Billy Joel, having a good taste in music, and not listening to songs to hear the “drop” brought me here. Family Guy fucking sucks!

Im here because of Family Guy. Anyone else?

Billy Joel’s piano is a certified illegal weapon of mass destruction, the destruction of war and violence. Billy Joel has brought so much happiness into my life, without him I would still be in the dark horrible place I was in. Billy you are a god in every way

*piano*, *peter gets closer to piano*

Piano Man was some of Billy's best work great album!

A cool, nice and unusual story song! I come back here to listen to this one, quite often. They just don't write them like this any more! I will listen to Billy Joel forever!! He's one of the Best, of all time!!!
:D

billyyyyy the kid wooooooo

Young Billy Joel is eerily pretty in this album cover.

From a town called Babylon Long Island with a six pack in his hand made him a legend
East and west of Rt 110

Holdup, the intro is just like that part in the most unwanted music

2019(G) “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore: (“Monaco”)(🔥🔥) •

The piano/orchestra "battle" I'll call it, is just beautiful!

This song is just as good if you speed it up x1.25

My mom bought me the Piano Man album, and Cheap Trick's In Color album one time when she was going by the discount record section at the Eaton's Centre Eatons in Toronto. This was 1981. Both are really great records.

WOW first time I hear this song. I pardon you billy🤓

Everytime I hear the piano solo, I picture Peter Griffin dancing. Almost spit out my coffee laughing. Have a good one folks!

Show # 70 @ MSG NYC 19' \m/

Beef...….it's what's for dinner...…….

0:09 First time playing Red Dead Redemption online with donkey as your mount
00:50 getting your first horse

My older brothers had this album in the collection, can still remember cranking this after school when I was about 8

Peters version is legendary but this is great to

2:53 avicii the days

I feel like I’m watching a western love it

After an almost a week later, I'm still stunned he played this at Wembley! You better believed I sang my lungs out!

Peter the Kid

Billy Joel brought me here.

Is Anyone Here Because Of Family Guy?
Like If You Are
👇🏻

Stfu Dylan

I would put this song up against Tiny dancer

And his age and his size took the teller by surprise!

Some of you, obviously have too much time on your hands!

I want it to be known i have literally never seen a bad comment on a Billy Joel song video

Nothing here is true....BS

Who's here from family guy

Devail Young Me!

I have a friend of mine who is related to the guy who killed Billy the Kid

I think this may have been my first CD. I got it free with a shirt and a oldies compilation CD when I bought a small wooden CD holder.

"He never had a sweetheart, but he finally found a home, underneath the boot hill grave that bore his name" is one of the sadder lines in a song that I've heard. I know the real Billy was much different than this romanticized version, but the idea of a lonely kid who never had a home until he died is quite sad.

I wore this album out...and a few needles.

Thanks to my parents for owning every single Billy Joel album

This song is really cool😎😇😇😇

Such a sad song but amazing

Idk how anyone could like this

Love The Music, but didn't the Kid start growing up in New York? Just wondering?

From a town known as Perth, Western Australia....rode a boy with an 8 ball in his hand...and his daring life of crime, made him a legend in in his time, east and west of the Rio Grande. <3

Not for nothing did a young Billy Joel attend Julliard School of Music.

is it weird that this just made me write a western song lol

From a town known as Wheeling, West Virginia Rode a boy with a six gun in his hand And his daring life of crime made him a legend in his time east and west of the Rio Grande. Well he started with a bank in Colorado in the pocket of his vest, a Colt he hid and his age and his size took the teller by surprise and, the word spread of Billy the kid Well he never travelled heavy yes he always rode alone and he soon put many older guns to shame and he never had a sweetheart and he never had a home but the cowboy and the rancher knew his name Well he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma and the largest could not seem to track him down and it served his legend well For the folks they loved to tell about When Billy the kid came to town Well one cold day a posse captured Billy and the judge said "String him up for what he did" And the cowboys and their kin like the sea, came pouring in to watch the hanging of Billy the kid. Well he never travelled heavy yes he always rode alone and he soon put many older guns to shame and he never had a sweetheart but he finally found a home under the boothill grave that bears his name. From a town known as Oyster Bay Long Island Rode a boy with a six pack in his hand and his daring life of crime made him a legend in his time east and west of the Rio Grande

Great song....his history is a little off, Billy was not hung, he was killed by Pag Garrett. That aside, good stuff.

I history channel said do have a lady

Family Guy 😂

Commack, Long Island, NY brought me here. Dreary morning in Manhattan today I needed a little pick me up. Thanks Billy.

The essential Billy Joel.

Nice song

Red Dead 2 while being chased by the law
and Peter gets more than he bargained for season 8

Family guy

I've listened to almost all billy's song and before listened to Marty robins do at first I thought it was a remake of Marty Robbins billy the kid. Check it out if you like old country!! :-)

2:53 Avicii - Stepping stone?

Avicii-The days (drop melody)

i was looking for that comment :)

This song blows

great song but its so inaccurate that it almost makes me not like it

@John Dauphinais it def. Is. Ad at the end he switches it to himself

It's actually crazy how fucking good this song is. Billy Joel can do no wrong, absolute legend.

Oyster Bay.

Family guy and red dead

This is the most disturbing picture I've ever seen of Billy Joel

Cruised Long Island every Saturday night with this song on the radio. Precious times.

Who else plays this when they play rdr 2

My dads favorite song because he grew up around oyster bay and it mentions it in the song

FAMILY GUY

As a New Mexican this song offends me! Not bad tho

It makes sense that this isn't historically accurate. People forget that this is a song about the _legend_ of Billy the Kid, not the person.

Great sounding song but complete bullshit lyrics. Why do we rewrite history and glorify thugs and murderers in song ?. How would adolf the kid sound ?.

Great song, great album, but the artwork leaves a lot to be desired. :\

Has anyone invented an orchestra machine yet ?. Might be just the thing to liven up my karaoke.

October 2018 anyone? Good music lasts forever

0:50 did I help?

Whos here from family guy?

spongebob roundpants annoying kids

OK a huge family guy fan.. and if that's how you came here, so be it, but explore yourself some joel.... brilliant artist!

I’m here because i’m preparing my mind body and spirit for Red Dead Redemption 2.

Did Billy Joel actually read a single fact about Billy the Kid, he wasn't from West Virginia, he was the son of a New York Irish Immigrant Prostitute and moved to New Mexico.
He also never robbed a bank

Billy Joel even states that it wasn't historical accurate. I guess he just thought the song would be better that way.
