Nancy Sinatra Bang Bang
I was five and he was six We rode on horses made of sticks He wore black and I wore white He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down Bang bang, I hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, my baby shot me down.
Seasons came and changed the time When I grew up, I called him mine He 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.
Music played, and people sang Just for me, the church bells rang.
Now he's gone, I don't know why And 'til this day, sometimes I cry He didn't even say goodbye He didn't take the time to lie.
Bang bang, he shot me down Bang bang, I hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, my baby shot me down...

I thought Cher Bono did Bang Bang.
Nancy I remember for These Boots etc.
I remember Cher’s version.
Cher sang it back when it was ok to promote violence for a profit.
She was no Julie London .....God I am old
IMO, Cher’s version is much better.

This is a Nancy Sinatras best song...IMHO
Being able to get his daughter singing gigs shows how powerful Frank was.
Ping
I didn’t think anyone but the Chairman of The Board sang in that family.
Yes, that and this...

I like a Strawberry Wine.
Nancy Sinatra did a cover of the song.
Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_Bang_(My_Baby_Shot_Me_Down)
I believe that’s Tommy Tedesco on guitar.
Frank and Nancy sang together in Something Stupid.
You are probably thinking of “Summer Wine” but yes, another great NS & LH song.
... and the lyrics we joyfully perverted to Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves ...
...and every night all the men could come around
and lay my momma down ...
