Intro

    
    

Verse 1

I'll tell you 'bout Machine Gun Kelly 
He rode along the outlaw trail 
Machine Gun Kelly was 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 a woman
Put you six feet in the ground
Machine Gun

Break

    
    

Verse 2

I'll tell you 'bout 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

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

Break

    
    

Bridge

You'd better watch out, Machine Gun Kelly
Careful of what you do now
If you keep a listenin' to your old lady
Ain't no tellin' what'll happen to you now
Machine Gun

Break

    
    

Verse 3

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

Chorus

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
