Preatty Boy Floyd (Live) - Joan Baez[00:00:00]
Written by:Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
Can gather round the children a story I will tell[00:00:28]
A pretty boy Floyd the outlaw Oklahoma knew him well[00:00:38]
Was in the town of Shawnee on a Saturday afternoon[00:00:46]
His wife beside him in a wagon as into town they rode[00:00:54]
There a deputy sheriff approached him[00:01:02]
In a manner rather rude[00:01:09]
Using vulgar words of language and his wife she overheard[00:01:12]
And pretty boy Floyd grabbed a long chain and the deputy grabbed a gun[00:01:20]
And in the fight that followed he laid that deputy down[00:01:29]
Then he took to the trees and timbers[00:01:50]
To lived a life of shame[00:01:58]
Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name[00:02:00]
Yes he took to the trees and timbers[00:02:07]
On that Canadian River's shore[00:02:14]
And Floyd found a welcome[00:02:17]
At a many a farmer's door[00:02:20]
There's a many a starving farmer[00:02:24]
The same story told[00:02:31]
How this outlaw paid their mortgage[00:02:33]
And saved their little home[00:02:36]
Others tell you 'bout a stranger[00:02:40]
Who came to beg a meal[00:02:48]
And underneath his napkin[00:02:50]
Left a thousand dollar bill[00:02:53]
It was in Oklahoma City[00:03:02]
It was on a Christmas Day[00:03:10]
In a whole car load of groceries[00:03:12]
In a letter that did say[00:03:15]
When you say that I'm an outlaw[00:03:19]
And you say that I'm a thief[00:03:26]
Here's a Christmas dinner[00:03:29]
For the families on relief[00:03:32]
When as through this world I ramble[00:03:40]
I see lots of funny men[00:03:47]
Some will rob you with a six gun[00:03:50]
Some with a fountain pen[00:03:53]
As through this world you travel[00:03:58]
As through as were you roam[00:04:05]
You never see an outlaw[00:04:09]
Drive a family from their home[00:04:12]
