Poncho and Lefty - The Great Country Crew[00:00:00]
Living on the road my friend[00:00:24]
Gonna keep you free and clean[00:00:27]
Now you were your skin like iron[00:00:31]
And your breath's as hard as kerosene[00:00:34]
You weren't your mama's only boy[00:00:39]
But her favorite one it seems[00:00:42]
She began to cry when you said goodbye[00:00:46]
Sank to your dream[00:00:54]
Poncho was a bandit boy[00:00:59]
His horse was fast as polished steel[00:01:03]
He wore his gun outside his pants[00:01:07]
For all the honest world to feel[00:01:11]
Poncho met his match you know[00:01:15]
On the deserts down in Mexico[00:01:18]
Nobody heard his dyin' word[00:01:22]
But that's the way it goes[00:01:29]
All the Federals they say[00:01:35]
They could have had him any day[00:01:39]
They only let him slip away[00:01:43]
Out of kindness I suppose[00:01:49]
Lefty he can't sing the blues[00:01:56]
All night long like he used to[00:01:59]
The dust that Poncho bit down south[00:02:03]
Ended up in Lefty's mouth[00:02:07]
The day they lay poor Poncho low[00:02:11]
Lefty split for Ohio[00:02:15]
Where he got the bread to go[00:02:19]
There ain't nobody knows[00:02:25]
All the Federals they say[00:02:31]
We could have had him any day[00:02:35]
We only let him slip away[00:02:39]
Out of kindness I suppose[00:02:45]
The poets tell how Poncho fell[00:03:18]
Lefty's livin' in cheap hotels[00:03:22]
The desert's quiet Cleveland's cold[00:03:25]
And so the story ends we're told[00:03:29]
Poncho needs your prayers[00:03:33]
It's true save a few for Lefty too[00:03:35]
He only did what he had to do[00:03:41]
Now he's growin' old[00:03:48]
All the Federals they say[00:03:53]
We could have had him any day[00:03:57]
They only let him go so long[00:04:01]
Out of kindness I suppose[00:04:07]
A few grey Federals they say[00:04:14]
We could have had him any day[00:04:18]
We only let him go so long[00:04:21]
Out of kindness I suppose[00:04:27]
