Pretty Boy Floyd - Ramblin' Jack Elliott[00:00:00]
Written by:Trad Guthrie[00:00:02]
If you'll gather 'round me children[00:00:09]
A story I will tell[00:00:14]
'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd an outlaw[00:00:18]
Oklahoma knew him well[00:00:22]
It was in the town of Shawnee[00:00:28]
A Saturday afternoon[00:00:32]
His wife beside him in his wagon[00:00:34]
As into town they rode[00:00:38]
There a deputy sheriff approached him[00:00:42]
In a manner rather rude[00:00:45]
He was in vulgar words of angry[00:00:48]
An' his wife she overheard[00:00:51]
Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain[00:00:57]
And the deputy grabbed his gun[00:00:59]
In the fight that followed[00:01:02]
He laid that deputy down[00:01:05]
He headed to the hills[00:01:12]
Wood and lamb[00:01:14]
To live a life of shame[00:01:15]
Every crime in Oklahoma[00:01:17]
Was added to his name[00:01:21]
Now there a many a starvin' farmer[00:01:27]
The same old story told[00:01:30]
How the outlaw paid their mortgage[00:01:33]
And saved their little homes[00:01:37]
Others tell you 'bout a stranger[00:01:42]
That come to beg a meal[00:01:45]
Underneath his napkin[00:01:47]
Left a thousand dollar bill[00:01:50]
It was in Oklahoma City[00:01:58]
It was on a Christmas Day[00:02:02]
There was a whole car load of groceries[00:02:05]
And a letter that to say[00:02:09]
He said that I'm an outlaw[00:02:13]
You say that I'm a thief[00:02:15]
Now here's a Christmas dinner[00:02:17]
For the families on relief[00:02:19]
Now as through this world I've wandered[00:02:24]
I've seen lots of funny men[00:02:29]
Some will rob you with a six gun[00:02:33]
And some with a fountain pen[00:02:37]
And as through your life you travel[00:02:41]
Yes as through your life you roam[00:02:44]
You won't never see an outlaw[00:02:48]
Drive a family from their home[00:02:53]
