Pretty Boy Floyd - Ramblin' Jack Elliott[00:00:00]
Written by:Woody Guthrie[00:00:01]
If you gather round me children[00:00:06]
A story I will tell[00:00:12]
That pretty boy floyd an outlaw[00:00:16]
Oklahoma knew him well[00:00:19]
If was in the town of shawnee was Saturday afternoon[00:00:25]
His wife beside him in the wagon[00:00:32]
As into town they rode[00:00:35]
A deputy sheriff approached them in a manner rather rude[00:00:40]
Using vulgar words of language[00:00:45]
And his wife she overheard[00:00:49]
Pretty boy grabbed a log chain[00:00:52]
And the deputy grabbed is gun[00:00:53]
And in the fight that followed he laid that deputy down[00:00:55]
If flew at the here's and wordland[00:01:04]
To lead a life of shame[00:01:09]
Every crime in Oklahoma[00:01:11]
Was added to his name[00:01:14]
Yes there's many a starving farmer[00:01:27]
The same story told[00:01:32]
How the outlaw paid their mortgage[00:01:36]
And saved their little home[00:01:40]
Others tell you about the stranger who came to beg a meal[00:01:44]
And underneath the napkin left a thousand dollar bill[00:01:48]
It was in Oklahoma city it was on a Christmas day[00:02:01]
A came a whole carload of groceries[00:02:08]
And a letter that did say[00:02:12]
You say that I'm an outlaw[00:02:16]
You say that I'm a thief[00:02:18]
Now here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief[00:02:20]
Well as through the world[00:02:29]
I've rambled I've seen lots of funny men[00:02:32]
Some rob you with a sixgun[00:02:36]
And some with a fountain pen[00:02:40]
And as through he life you trouble[00:02:44]
And as through he life you roam[00:02:48]
You'll never see an outlaw[00:02:52]
Drive a family from there home[00:02:56]
