Machine Gun Kelly - Carole King, James Taylor

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

(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

I’ll tell you 'bout Katherine Kelly

Tired of being such small time

Figured they’d kidnap a rich man’s son

And make it in the world of crime

— Chorus —

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

And 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
