Pretty Boy Floyd - Cisco Houston[00:00:00]
If you'll gather round me children[00:00:04]
A story I will tell[00:00:10]
About pretty boy Floyd an outlaw[00:00:13]
Oklahoma knew him well[00:00:17]
It was in the town of Shawnee[00:00:22]
On a Saturday afternoon[00:00:26]
His wife beside him in his wagon[00:00:30]
As into town they rode[00:00:34]
Then a deputy sheriff approached him[00:00:39]
In a manner rather rude[00:00:44]
Using vulgar words of language[00:00:47]
And his wife she overheard[00:00:50]
Then pretty boy grabbed a log chain[00:00:56]
And the deputy grabbed his gun[00:01:00]
And in the fight that followed[00:01:04]
He laid that deputy down[00:01:07]
Then he took to the trees and timbers[00:01:13]
To live a life of shame[00:01:18]
Every crime in Oklahoma[00:01:21]
Was added to his name[00:01:25]
Yes he took to the trees and timbers[00:01:29]
On that Canadian river's shore[00:01:33]
And the outlaw found a welcome[00:01:36]
At many a farmer's door[00:01:41]
There's a many a starving farmer[00:01:47]
This same old story told[00:01:51]
How the outlaw paid their mortgage[00:01:54]
And saved their little home[00:01:57]
Others tell you about a stranger[00:02:01]
That come to beg a meal[00:02:05]
And underneath his napkin[00:02:09]
Left a thousand dollar bill[00:02:12]
It was in Oklahoma city[00:02:17]
It was on a Christmas day[00:02:22]
There came a whole car load of groceries[00:02:25]
With a letter that did say[00:02:29]
Well you say that I'm an outlaw[00:02:33]
Well you say that I'm a thief[00:02:36]
Here's a Christmas dinner[00:02:39]
For the families on relief[00:02:43]
As through this world I ramble[00:02:48]
I see lots of funny men[00:02:54]
Some rob you with a six gun[00:02:57]
Some with a fountain pen[00:03:01]
But as through this life you travel[00:03:06]
As through your life you roam[00:03:11]
You will never see an outlaw[00:03:14]
Drive a family from their home[00:03:18]
