The Famous Lefty Flynn
F Eb C Dm Bb
F Eb C
The walls are mighty high in Fort Worth Prison. The cells are awful small for two grown men.
F Eb C
The warden slammed that heavy door behind me and said allow me to introduce to you the
F
famous Lefty Flynn.
F Eb
I’d read about old Lefty in the papers…How he’d robbed all of the banks out in the west.
F Eb C
I figured he’d be bigger than a mountain…with chiseled arms and battle scars tattooed upon
F
his chest.
Dm Bb F
But he was small and he looked just like a movie star. His teeth were pearly white and hair
Dm C
was black a coal.
Dm Bb C
I’ll never forget the day that I shook his hand AND began my education from the Famous
F
Lefty Flynn.
[Instrumental Break]
Eb Bb C F
F Eb Bb C
Well I bet I must I must have asked a million questions. He took to me I was only friend.
F Eb Bb C F
He told me all about his hiding places and all the money that he stole but never got to spend.
F Eb Bb C
He said there was this old abandoned farm house AND in the backyard was a dried up well.
F Eb Bb C F
A million dollars lay there at the bottom. We made a pact to not look back and break out this cell.
Dm Bb F C
We barely made it out, law men on our tail. Well the bullets were a flying that shot ol’ Lefty down.
Dm Bb C F
With a heavy heart I headed for that pot of gold and on across the border to the Gulf of Mexico.
F Eb C
Now I’m livin’ like a king in old Tampico. I’ll never have to steel or run again.
F
Just like we planned I built that little tavern.
Eb Dm C F
Where the neon light says welcome to the Famous Lefty Flynn.
