Pretty Boy Floyd - Ramblin' Jack Elliott[00:00:00]

Written by：Trad Guthrie[00:00:02]

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

A story I will tell[00:00:14]

'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd an outlaw[00:00:18]

Oklahoma knew him well[00:00:22]

It was in the town of Shawnee[00:00:28]

A Saturday afternoon[00:00:32]

His wife beside him in his wagon[00:00:34]

As into town they rode[00:00:38]

There a deputy sheriff approached him[00:00:42]

In a manner rather rude[00:00:45]

He was in vulgar words of angry[00:00:48]

An' his wife she overheard[00:00:51]

Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain[00:00:57]

And the deputy grabbed his gun[00:00:59]

In the fight that followed[00:01:02]

He laid that deputy down[00:01:05]

He headed to the hills[00:01:12]

Wood and lamb[00:01:14]

To live a life of shame[00:01:15]

Every crime in Oklahoma[00:01:17]

Was added to his name[00:01:21]

Now there a many a starvin' farmer[00:01:27]

The same old story told[00:01:30]

How the outlaw paid their mortgage[00:01:33]

And saved their little homes[00:01:37]

Others tell you 'bout a stranger[00:01:42]

That come to beg a meal[00:01:45]

Underneath his napkin[00:01:47]

Left a thousand dollar bill[00:01:50]

It was in Oklahoma City[00:01:58]

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

There was a whole car load of groceries[00:02:05]

And a letter that to say[00:02:09]

He said that I'm an outlaw[00:02:13]

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

Now here's a Christmas dinner[00:02:17]

For the families on relief[00:02:19]

Now as through this world I've wandered[00:02:24]

I've seen lots of funny men[00:02:29]

Some will rob you with a six gun[00:02:33]

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[00:02:44]

You won't never see an outlaw[00:02:48]

Drive a family from their home[00:02:53]
