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

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

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

interesting story. they say that quentin had this song in mind before even starting the script for 'kill bill'. and when he started having rza score it and such, he made it very important this song started out the movie and he made rza listen to it for like 2-3 weeks before giving him a copy of the script.

Kill Bill was a joint idea between QT and Uma, developed during the filming of Pulp Fiction, as far as I know.

As far as the song, it's definitely Nancy Sinatra that performed it, although I don't know if she wrote it or not.

The movie was conceived during the filming of Pulp Fiction (1994) when Tarantino would constantly tell the actress what would become the film's tagline: "Uma Thurman will Kill Bill!"
Uma Thurman was offered the script to Kill Bill, and her role as "The Bride", as a 30th Birthday present from Quentin Tarantino.

and yes, PatboyX mentioned that cher has a version. in fact, sonny and cher wrote the original version of this song, and cher performed it.
