Pancho And Lefty (Album Version) 歌詞
Pancho and Lefty - Merle Haggard/Willie Nelson
Living on the road my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
But now you wear your skin like iron
And your breath as hard as kerosene
Weren't your mama's only boy
But her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
Sank into your dreams
Pancho was a bandit boys
His horse as fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
No body heard his dying words
Ah but that's the way it goes
All the federals say
They could have had him any day
They only let him slip away
Out of kindness I suppose
Lefty he can't sing the blues
All night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down south
Ended up in lefty's mouth
The day they laid poor Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go
There ain't nobody knows
All the federals say
They could have had him any day
We only let him slip away
Out of kindness I suppose
The poets tell how Pancho fell
And lefty's living in a cheap hotel
The desert's quiet and cleveland's cold
And so the story ends we're told
Pancho needs your prayers it's true
Save a few for lefty too
He only did what he had to do
And now he's growing old
All the federals say
We could have had him any day
They only let him go so long
Out of kindness I suppose
A few gray federals say
Could have had him any day
We only let him go so long
Out of kindness I suppose
