A D A X 2

A D A D E

Hi my name is Coleman Young, and this is the story of how the terrible James-Young gang got started. Ya know when Jessie told Frank and me that we oughta go rob a bank, we said Jessie ain’t nobody every robbed no bank, Jessie looked at me and said well hell Cole carts didn’t even have wheels till somebody thought of it I said ya, you right.

A D A

We lost the war a year ago and the times been mighty bad.

E

The food is short and the stocks are low and the people are down right sad.

A D A

A young man’s hopes are dashed to hell and it’s hard to earn a dime

E A A D A (X 2)

Between kickin your heels and plowin your fields and prayin for a better time.

A D A

Well Jessie said in his quite way, boys I got us a plan.

E

I’ve been thinkin it out for many a days I’ll explain the best I can.

A D A

How’d yall like to rob a bank its for the north of gold

E A A D A (X 2)

We can make the hit and live a little bit instead of just growin old.

D A

Well its down I Old Clay County in a town called Liberty.

D A

Theys nine men on the outside and walkin around just free

D A

Cole you take the teller, Frank you fill the wheat sack

They’ll open that vault when they see my colt

E A A D A (X 2)

We’ll take the bonds and the sweet green backs.

A DA A E A D A A E A A D E

A D A

The frost lay heavy on the ground and the people bit us good day

` E

No sooner were we in that town we were done and rode away.

A D A

All went well except one thing and it drove me and Frank just mad

E A A D A ( X 2)

Clemans shot a man that got to close but ol Clemans just plain bad.

D A

Well see it was just plain easy cause we got a will to win.

D A

We all got damn good alibis cause we all got loyal kin

D A

75 thousand dollars well hell lets go get us some more.

E A A D A (X 2)

Cause robbin these banks beats fightin these Yanks and evens up the score.
