Pretty Boy Floyd - Woody Guthrie/Junior Wells[00:00:00]
If you'll gather 'round me children [00:00:01]
A story I will tell[00:00:06]
'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd an outlaw [00:00:10]
Oklahoma knew him well [00:00:13]
It was in the town of Shawnee [00:00:17]
A Saturday afternoon [00:00:23]
His wife beside him in his wagon[00:00:27]
As into town they rode [00:00:30]
There a deputy sheriff approached him[00:00:35]
In a manner rather rude [00:00:41]
Vulgar words of anger [00:00:45]
An' his wife she overheard [00:00:49]
Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain [00:00:54]
And the deputy grabbed his gun;[00:00:56]
In the fight that followed[00:00:58]
He laid that deputy down [00:01:00]
But a many a starving farmer[00:01:06]
The same old story told[00:01:13]
How the outlaw paid their mortgage[00:01:17]
And saved their little homes [00:01:21]
Others tell you 'bout a stranger[00:01:28]
That come to beg a meal [00:01:34]
Underneath his napkin[00:01:39]
Left a thousand dollar bill [00:01:43]
It was in Oklahoma City [00:01:49]
It was on a Christmas Day [00:01:56]
There was a whole car load of groceries[00:02:00]
Come with a note to say:[00:02:04]
Well you say that I'm an outlaw [00:02:09]
You say that I'm a thief [00:02:11]
Here's a Christmas dinner[00:02:13]
For the families on relief [00:02:15]
Yes as through this world I've wandered[00:02:21]
I've seen lots of funny men;[00:02:28]
Some will rob you with a six-gun [00:02:32]
And some with a fountain pen [00:02:37]
And as through your life you travel [00:02:41]
Yes as through your life you roam [00:02:47]
You won't never see an outlaw[00:02:52]
Drive a family from their home[00:02:58]
