I'll tell you bout 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 a woman put you six feet
In the ground, Machine Gun
I'll tell you 'bout Katherine Kelly
Tired of being such small time
Figured they'd kidnap a rich mans son
Make it in the world of crime
Watch out Machine Gun
Don't let her run you round
Don't let a 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
They 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
