From November 17 1997 version

Well the first time I shot him, shot him in his side
Second time I ???
But the third time I shot him, shot him dead
That lost shot must've killed poor Ella dead

Well we all heard ?? in the streets ??
???
Now there's three white horses standing in a line
Gonna take him for his last farewell ride

Ella, before he died, ???
Tell my sisters ???
There's ???
Everyone makes him see

Man, its' hard to ????
???
???
That last shot must've killed poor Ella dead
