Kansas City

Kansas City with a friend of mine

We loved the women and we had a good time

Then the trouble started with the gun

Kansas City with a friend of mine

We drank some whiskey and we really felt fine

Then we started leaving on the run.

Hey Ho Yippeeiayay

He shot up Kansas City on a very fine day

Hey Ho Yippeeiayay

He shot up Kansas City on a very fine day

He shot up Kansas City on a very fine day

He shot up Kansas City on a very fine day

Kansas City with a friend of mine

We loved for a dollar and we drank for a dime

Now I'm headin' down to Santa Fe

Kansas City with a friend of mine

We left too late cut it mighty fine

Texas seemed the safest place to be.

Hey Ho Yippeeiayay

He shot up

Kansas City with a friend of mine

It started rainin' turned the mud to slime

Now I'm headin' straight through Tennessee

Kansas City with a friend of mine

Now I'm headin' straight down the line

Nothin' more in Kansas left for me

Hey Ho Yippeeiayay

He shot up
