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 . . .
