Pretty Boy Floyd - Woody Guthrie/Pete Seeger[00:00:00]

Written by：Guthrie[00:00:01]

If you'll gather 'round me children[00:00:08]

A story I will tell[00:00:10]

'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd an outlaw[00:00:13]

Oklahoma knew him well[00:00:15]

It was in the town of Shawnee[00:00:21]

A Saturday afternoon[00:00:26]

His wife beside him in his wagon[00:00:29]

As into town they rode[00:00:32]

There a deputy sheriff approached him[00:00:38]

In a manner rather rude[00:00:41]

Vulgar words of anger[00:00:45]

An' his wife she overheard[00:00:47]

Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain[00:00:56]

And the deputy grabbed his gun[00:00:57]

In the fight that followed[00:01:00]

He laid that deputy down[00:01:02]

Then he took to the trees and timber[00:01:06]

To live a life of shame[00:01:12]

Every crime in Oklahoma[00:01:15]

Was added to his name[00:01:18]

But a many a starvin' farmer[00:01:25]

The same old story told[00:01:28]

How the outlaw paid their mortgage[00:01:32]

And saved their little homes[00:01:34]

Others tell you 'bout a stranger[00:01:40]

That come to beg a meal[00:01:42]

Underneath his napkin[00:01:45]

Left a thousand-dollar bill[00:01:47]

It was in Oklahoma City[00:01:55]

It was on a Christmas Day[00:02:01]

There was a whole car load of groceries[00:02:05]

Come with a note to say[00:02:08]

Well you say that I'm an outlaw[00:02:12]

You say that I'm a thief[00:02:14]

Here's a Christmas dinner[00:02:17]

For the families on relief[00:02:19]

Yes as through this world I've wandered[00:02:25]

I've seen lots of funny men[00:02:30]

Some will rob you with a six-gun[00:02:34]

And some with a fountain pen[00:02:36]

And as through your life you travel[00:02:40]

Yes as through your life you roam[00:02:47]

You won't never see an outlaw[00:02:51]

Drive a family from their home[00:02:55]
