Pretty Boy Floyd - Joel Rafael[00:00:01]
If you'll gather round me children[00:00:11]
A story i will tell[00:00:16]
But pretty boy floyd an outlaw[00:00:20]
Oklahoma knew him well[00:00:24]
It was in the town of shawnee[00:00:31]
A saturday afternoon[00:00:37]
His wife beside him in his wagon[00:00:40]
As into town they rode[00:00:45]
There a deputy sheriff approached him[00:00:52]
In a manner rather rude[00:00:57]
Vulgar words of anger[00:01:00]
An his wife she overheard[00:01:05]
Pretty boy grabbed a log chain[00:01:12]
And the deputy grabbed his gun[00:01:14]
In the fight that followed[00:01:18]
He laid that deputy down[00:01:22]
He took to the trees and timber[00:01:29]
To live a life of shame[00:01:31]
Every crime in oklahoma[00:01:35]
Was added to his name[00:01:40]
But a many a starving farmer[00:02:24]
The same old story told[00:02:29]
How the outlaw paid their mortgage[00:02:33]
And saved their little homes[00:02:37]
Others tell you bout a stranger[00:02:44]
That come to beg a meal[00:02:50]
Underneath his napkin[00:02:54]
Left a thousand dollar bill[00:02:58]
It was in oklahoma city[00:03:05]
It was on a christmas day[00:03:10]
There was a whole car load of groceries[00:03:14]
Come with a note to say[00:03:18]
Well you say that i'm an outlaw[00:03:25]
You say that i'm a thief[00:03:27]
Here's a christmas dinner[00:03:32]
For the families on relief[00:03:35]
Yes as through this world i've wandered[00:03:42]
I've seen lots of funny men[00:03:47]
Some will rob you with a six gun[00:03:51]
And some with a fountain pen[00:03:57]
And as through your life you travel[00:04:04]
Yes as through your life you roam[00:04:10]
You won't never see an outlaw[00:04:14]
Drive a family from their home[00:04:18]
