Pretty Boy Floyd - Jack Elliott[00:00:00]
If you gather round the children[00:00:08]
A story I will tell[00:00:13]
A Pretty Boy Floyd the outlaw[00:00:18]
Oklahoma knew him well[00:00:21]
It was in the town of Shawnee was Saturday afternoon[00:00:27]
His wife beside him in wagon as into town they rode[00:00:33]
Her deputy sheriff approached in a manner rather rude[00:00:41]
Using vulgar words of language[00:00:47]
His wife she overheard[00:00:50]
Pretty boy grabbed a long chain[00:00:57]
And the deputy grabbed a gun[00:00:59]
And in the fight that followed[00:01:01]
He laid that deputy down[00:01:04]
He fly to the hill[00:01:12]
To live a life of shame[00:01:15]
Every crimenal in Oklahoma was added to his name[00:01:17]
But a many a starving farmer[00:01:26]
The same old story told[00:01:29]
How the outlaw paid their mortgage[00:01:32]
Saved their little homes[00:01:37]
Others tell you about a stranger[00:01:42]
That come to beg a meal[00:01:44]
Underneath his napkin[00:01:46]
Left a thousand dollar bill[00:01:50]
It was in Oklahoma City [00:01:57]
It was on a Christmas Day[00:02:01]
There was a whole carload of groceries[00:02:04]
And a letter that did say[00:02:08]
You say that I'm an outlaw[00:02:12]
You say that I'm a thief[00:02:14]
Here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief[00:02:16]
As through this world I ramble[00:02:23]
I've seen lots of funny men[00:02:28]
Some rob you with a six-gun[00:02:32]
Some with a fountain pen[00:02:36]
And as through your life you travel[00:02:40]
As through your life you roam[00:02:43]
You'll never see an outlaw[00:02:47]
Drive a family from their home[00:02:52]
