Poncho & Lefty - Townes Van Zandt[00:00:00]

Living on the road my friend[00:00:08]

Was gonna keep you free and clean[00:00:12]

Now you wear your skin like iron[00:00:15]

Your breath's as hard as kerosene[00:00:18]

You weren't your momma's only boy[00:00:23]

But her favorite one it seems[00:00:26]

She began to cry when you said goodbye[00:00:29]

And sank into your dreams[00:00:36]

Poncho was a bandit boys[00:00:41]

His horse was fast as polished steel[00:00:45]

Wore his gun outside his pants[00:00:49]

For all the honest world to feel[00:00:52]

Poncho met his match you know[00:00:56]

On the deserts down in Mexico[00:00:59]

Nobody heard his dying words[00:01:03]

That's the way it goes[00:01:09]

All the federales say[00:01:15]

They could have had him any day[00:01:19]

They only let him hang around[00:01:22]

Out of kindness I suppose[00:01:28]

Lefty he can't sing the blues[00:01:34]

All night long like he used to[00:01:37]

The dust that Poncho bit down south[00:01:41]

Ended up in lefty's mouth[00:01:45]

The day they laid poor Poncho low[00:01:48]

Lefty split for Ohio[00:01:52]

Where he got the bread to go[00:01:55]

There ain't nobody knows[00:02:01]

All the federales say[00:02:07]

They could have had him any day[00:02:11]

Only let him slip away[00:02:14]

Out of kindness I suppose[00:02:20]

The poets tell how Poncho fell[00:02:26]

Lefty's living in a cheap hotel[00:02:30]

The desert's quiet[00:02:33]

Cleveland's cold[00:02:35]

So the story ends we're told[00:02:37]

Poncho needs your prayers it's true[00:02:40]

But save a few for lefty too[00:02:44]

He just did what he had to do[00:02:47]

Now he's growing old[00:02:54]

A few gray federales say[00:02:59]

They could have had him any day[00:03:03]

Only let him go so wrong[00:03:06]

Out of kindness I suppose[00:03:12]

A few gray federales say[00:03:18]

They could have had him any day[00:03:22]

They only let him go so wrong[00:03:25]

Out of kindness I suppose[00:03:31]
