[Intro]
  A    D     AX 2
A  D  A D  E
AWe lost the war a year ago and the tiDmes been mighAty bad.
The food is short and the stocks are low and tEhe people are down right sad.
AA young man's hopes are dashed to hell and it'Ds hard to earn a dimAe
                                                  E          A    A    D    A(X 2)
Between kickin your heels and plowin your fields and prayin for a better time.
AWell Jessie said in his quite way, Dboys I got us a planA.
I've been thinkin it out for many a days I'll Eexplain the best I can.
AHow'd yall like to rob a bank its Dfor the north of goldA  
                                                     E         A    A    D    A(X 2)
We can make the hit and live a little bit instead of just growin old.
Well its down DI Old Clay County in a Atown called Liberty.
Theys nine Dmen on the outside and walkin Aaround just free
DCole you take the teller, FArank 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.  
[Instrumental]
A D A A E A D A A E A A  D  E
AThe frost lay heavy on the ground and the people Dbit us good dayA  
                 `                        E  
No sooner were we in that town we were done and rode away.
AAll went well except one thing and Dit drove me and Frank Ajust mad
                                        E         A    A    D   A( X 2)
Clemans shot a man that got to close but ol Clemans just plain bad.
DWell see it was just plain easy cause we Agot a will to win.
DWe all got damn good alibis cause we Aall got loyal kin
D75 thousand dollars well helAl 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.
