I'll tell you about Machine Gun Kelly he rode along the outlaw trail*
Machine Gun Kelly was a simple man but the woman was as hard as hell
Watch out Machine Gun, don't let her run you round
Don't let the woman put you six feet in the ground, Machine Gun
I'll tell you about Katherine Kelly, tired of being such small time, now
Figured they'd kidnap a rich man's son, make it in the world of crime
Watch out Machine Gun, don't let her run you round
Don't let the woman put you six feet in the ground, Machine Gun
You'd better watch out Machine Gun Kelly, careful of what you do, now
If you keep listening to your old lady, ain't no telling what'll happen to you, now
Machine Gun
The government boys they came for Machine Gun, took the poor boy away
Stuck him in a hole in Leavenworth prison where he lived until his dying day
Watch out Machine Gun, don't let her put you down
Don't let a woman make you out to be a clown, Machine Gun
Watch out Machine Gun
