Pretty Boy Floyd - Arlo Guthrie[00:00:01]
If you'll gather 'round me children [00:01:30]
A story I will tell[00:01:34]
'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd an outlaw [00:01:37]
Oklahoma knew him well [00:01:40]
It was in the town of Shawnee [00:01:43]
A Saturday afternoon [00:01:46]
His wife beside him in his wagon[00:01:49]
As into town they rode [00:01:52]
There a deputy sheriff approached him[00:01:57]
In a manner rather rude [00:02:01]
Vulgar words of anger [00:02:04]
An' his wife she overheard [00:02:07]
Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain [00:02:11]
And the deputy grabbed his gun;[00:02:13]
In the fight that followed[00:02:16]
He laid that deputy down [00:02:19]
Then he took to the trees and timber[00:02:24]
To live a life of shame;[00:02:28]
Every crime in Oklahoma[00:02:31]
Was added to his name [00:02:34]
But a many a starving farmer[00:02:44]
The same old story told[00:02:55]
How the outlaw paid their mortgage[00:02:58]
And saved their little homes [00:03:01]
Others tell you 'bout a stranger[00:03:04]
That come to beg a meal [00:03:08]
Underneath his napkin[00:03:11]
Left a thousand dollar bill [00:03:14]
It was in Oklahoma City [00:03:19]
It was on a Christmas Day [00:03:25]
There was a whole car load of groceries[00:03:28]
Come with a note to say:[00:03:31]
Well you say that I'm an outlaw [00:03:34]
You say that I'm a thief [00:03:37]
Here's a Christmas dinner[00:03:41]
For the families on relief [00:03:44]
Yes as through this world I've wandered[00:03:48]
I've seen lots of funny men;[00:03:52]
Some will rob you with a six-gun [00:03:55]
And some with a fountain pen [00:03:58]
And as through your life you travel [00:04:01]
Yes as through your life you roam [00:04:05]
You won't never see an outlaw[00:04:08]
Drive a family from their home[00:04:11]
