Pretty Boy Floyd - Ramblin´ Jack Elliott[00:00:00]
If you gather round the children[00:00:03]
A story I will tell[00:00:08]
A Pretty Boy Floyd the outlaw[00:00:12]
Oklahoma knew him well[00:00:15]
It was in the town of Shawnee was Saturday afternoon[00:00:20]
His wife beside him in wagon as into town they rode[00:00:28]
Her deputy sheriff approached in a manner rather rude[00:00:37]
Using vulgar words of language[00:00:43]
His wife she overheard[00:00:46]
Pretty boy grabbed a long chain and the deputy grabbed a gun[00:00:51]
And in the fight that followed he laid that deputy down[00:00:55]
He fly to the hill[00:01:02]
To live a life of shame[00:01:06]
Every crimenal in Oklahoma was added to his name[00:01:10]
But a many a starving farmer[00:01:17]
The same old story told[00:01:23]
How the outlaw paid their mortgage[00:01:26]
Saved their little homes[00:01:29]
Others tell you about a stranger[00:01:34]
That come to beg a meal[00:01:36]
Underneath his napkin[00:01:38]
Left a thousand dollar bill[00:01:41]
It was in Oklahoma City [00:01:46]
It was on a Christmas Day[00:01:51]
There was a whole carload of groceries[00:01:54]
And a letter that did say[00:01:58]
You say that I'm an outlaw[00:02:02]
You say that I'm a thief[00:02:04]
Here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief[00:02:06]
As through this world I ramble[00:02:14]
I've seen lots of funny men[00:02:19]
Some rob you with a six-gun[00:02:22]
Some with a fountain pen[00:02:26]
And as through your life you travel[00:02:31]
As through your life you roam[00:02:33]
You'll never see an outlaw[00:02:36]
Drive a family from their home[00:02:39]
