"The Ballad of Billy the Kid" is a Billy Joel song from the album ''Piano Man''. It was also issued as a single in the UK backed with "If I Only Had The Words (To Tell You)."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discogs.com/Billy-Joel-The-Ballad-Of-Billy-The-Kid-If-I-Only-Had-The-Words-To-Tell-You/release/2261320 )〕 ==Historical inaccuracies== The song is Joel's fictionalized version of the story of Billy the Kid. In an interview from 1975, Joel admitted, "Basically (song ) was an experiment with an impressionist type of lyric. It was historically totally inaccurate as a story."〔(ZigZag, 1975 )〕 Examples of these inaccuracies include when Joel sings that Billy the Kid was "from a town known as Wheeling, West Virginia" and that "he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma."〔Joel, Billy. "The Ballad of Billy the Kid". ''Piano Man''. Columbia Records, 1973.〕 But the real Billy the Kid never robbed a bank and although his birthplace is uncertain, no account suggests that he was from West Virginia. The song also says that Billy the Kid was captured and hanged, with many people attending the hanging while in reality, he was shot and killed by Pat Garrett.
