pretty boy floyd - david rovics lyrics

Loading...

if you’ll gather ’round me people
a story i will tell
of pretty boy floyd, an outlaw
oklahoma knew him well

it was in the town of shawnee
it was sat-rday afternoon
his wife beside him in his wagon
it was into town they rode

there a deputy sheriff approached him
in a manner rather rude
using vulgar words of language
and his wife, she overheard

well, pretty boy grabbed a logchain
and the deputy grabbed his gun
and in the fight that followed
he laid that deputy down

well, there’s many a starving farmer
the same old story told
how an outlaw paid their mortgage
and saved their little home

others tell you of a stranger
who came to beg a meal
and underneath his napkin
left a thousand-dollar bill

it was in oklahoma city
it was on a christmas day
there came a whole carload of groceries
with a letter that did say

“well, you say that i’m an outlaw
you tell me i’m a thief
well, here’s a christmas dinner
for the families on relief”

well, as through this world i’ve traveled
i’ve seen lots of funny men
some will rob you with a six-gun
and some with a fountain pen

but as through this world you ramble
and as through this world you roam
you will never see an outlaw
drive a family from their home
