White Mansions The Old Clay County

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.
