The walls are mighty high
And the cells are awful small
Said, allow me to introduce to you
I'd read about old Lefty in the paper
I figured he'd be bigger than a mountain
With chiseled arms and battled scars
But he was small and he looked just like a
Well, his teeth were pearly white
and his hair was black as coal
But I'll never forget the day
from the famous lefty flint
I bet I must have asked a million questions
He took to me, I was his only friend
He told me all about his hot places
And all the money that he stole
And in the backyard was a dried up well
A million dollars lay there at the bottom
We made a pact to not look back
and break out of this cell
with all men on our tails
But the bullets were flying
and the shot oh left you down
I headed for that pot of gold
I'm livin' like a king in old Tampico
I'll never have to steal or run again
Just like the plan I built that little tavern
For the neon light says welcome
to the famous Lefty Plinth
