Pretty Boy Floyd - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

If you'll gather 'round me, children,[00:00:09]

A story I will tell[00:00:11]

'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd, an outlaw,[00:00:14]

Oklahoma knew him well.[00:00:16]

It was in the town of Shawnee,[00:00:22]

A Saturday afternoon,[00:00:27]

His wife beside him in his wagon[00:00:29]

As into town they rode.[00:00:33]

There a deputy sheriff approached him[00:00:38]

In a manner rather rude,[00:00:42]

Vulgar words of anger,[00:00:45]

An' his wife she overheard.[00:00:48]

Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain,[00:00:56]

And the deputy grabbed his gun;[00:00:58]

In the fight that followed[00:01:01]

He laid that deputy down.[00:01:02]

Then he took to the trees and timber[00:01:07]

To live a life of shame;[00:01:12]

Every crime in Oklahoma[00:01:15]

Was added to his name.[00:01:18]

But a many a starving farmer[00:01:25]

The same old story told[00:01:29]

How the outlaw paid their mortgage[00:01:32]

And saved their little homes.[00:01:34]

Others tell you 'bout a stranger[00:01:40]

That come to beg a meal,[00:01:42]

Underneath his napkin[00:01:45]

Left a thousand dollar bill.[00:01:47]

It in was Oklahoma City,[00:01:56]

It was on a Christmas Day,[00:02:02]

There was a whole car load of groceries[00:02:06]

Come with a note to say:[00:02:07]

Well, you say that I'm an outlaw,[00:02:12]

You say that I'm a thief.[00:02:15]

Here's a Christmas dinner[00:02:16]

For the families on relief.[00:02:20]

Yes, as through this world I've wandered[00:02:25]

I've seen lots of funny men;[00:02:30]

Some will rob you with a six-gun,[00:02:34]

And some with a fountain pen.[00:02:37]

And as through your life you travel,[00:02:41]

Yes, as through your life you roam,[00:02:47]

You won't never see an outlaw[00:02:52]

Drive a family from their home.[00:02:57]
