Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
You'd better watch out Machine Gun Kelly
Careful of what you do, now
If you keep listening to your old lady
Isn't no telling what'll happen to you, now
Machine Gun

[Bridge]
The government boys they came for Machine Gun
Took the poor boy away
They stuck him in a hole in a Leavenworth prison
Where he lived until his dying day

[Chorus]
Watch out Machine Gun, don't let her put you down
Don't let the woman make you out to be a clown, Machine Gun

Watch out, Machine Gun
