Pretty Boy Floyd - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
Written by:Trad Arr Guthrie[00:00:01]
If you'll gather 'round me children[00:00:07]
A story I will tell[00:00:10]
'Bout pretty boy floyd an outlaw[00:00:13]
Oklahoma knew him well[00:00:15]
It was in the town of shawnee[00:00:21]
A saturday afternoon[00:00:26]
His wife beside him in his wagon[00:00:29]
As into town they rode[00:00:32]
There a deputy sheriff approached him[00:00:37]
In a manner rather rude[00:00:41]
Vulgar words of anger[00:00:45]
An' his wife she overheard[00:00:47]
Pretty boy grabbed a log chain[00:00:56]
And the deputy grabbed his gun[00:00:58]
In the fight that followed[00:01:00]
He laid that deputy down[00:01:03]
Then he took to the trees and timber[00:01:07]
To live a life of shame[00:01:12]
Every crime in oklahoma[00:01:16]
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[00:01:35]
Others tell you 'bout a stranger[00:01:40]
That come to beg a meal[00:01:43]
Underneath his napkin[00:01:45]
Left a thousand dollar bill[00:01:47]
It was in 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[00:02:08]
Well you say that I'm an outlaw[00:02:13]
You say that I'm a thief[00:02:15]
Here's a christmas dinner[00:02:18]
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[00:02:31]
Some will rob you with a six gun[00:02:35]
And some with a fountain pen[00:02:38]
And as through your life you travel[00:02:42]
Yes as through your life you roam[00:02:48]
You won't never see an outlaw[00:02:53]
Drive a family from their home[00:02:57]
