livin' on the road my friend[00:00:24]
is gonna keep you free and clean[00:00:28]
and now you wear your skin like iron[00:00:32]
and your breath is hard as kerosene[00:00:36]
you weren't your mama's only boy[00:00:40]
her favorite one it seems[00:00:43]
she began to cry when you said[00:00:48]
good-bye sank to your dreams[00:00:51]
poncho was a bandit boy[00:01:01]
his horse was fast as polished steel[00:01:05]
he wore his gun outside his pants[00:01:09]
for all the honest world to feel[00:01:13]
poncho met his match you know[00:01:17]
on the deserts down in mexico[00:01:20]
nobody heard his dyin' word[00:01:24]
oh but that's the way it goes[00:01:31]
all the federales they say[00:01:37]
they could have had him any day[00:01:41]
they only let him slip away[00:01:45]
out of kindness i suppose[00:01:51]
lefty he can't sing the blues[00:01:58]
all night long like he used to[00:02:01]
the dust that poncho bit down south[00:02:05]
ended up in lefty's mouth[00:02:09]
the day they lay poor poncho low[00:02:13]
lefty split for ohio[00:02:17]
where he got the bread to go[00:02:21]
there ain't nobody knows[00:02:28]
all the federales they say[00:02:34]
we could have had him any day[00:02:38]
we only let him slip away[00:02:42]
out of kindness i suppose[00:02:48]
the poets tell how poncho fell[00:03:20]
and lefty's livin' in cheap hotels[00:03:24]
the desert's quiet cleveland's cold[00:03:28]
and so the story ends we're told[00:03:32]
poncho needs your prayers it's true[00:03:36]
save a few for lefty too[00:03:40]
he only did what he had to do[00:03:44]
and now he's growin' old[00:03:50]
all the federales they say[00:03:56]
we could have had him any day[00:04:00]
they only let him go so long[00:04:04]
out of kindness i suppose[00:04:10]
a few gray federales they say[00:04:17]
could have had him any day[00:04:21]
we only let him go so long[00:04:24]
out of kindness i suppose[00:04:30]
