Pretty Boy Floyd 歌詞
If you'll gather 'round me children
A story I will tell '
Bout Pretty
Boy Floyd an outlaw
Oklahoma knew him well
It was in the town of
Shawnee A
Saturday afternoon
His wife beside him in his wagon
As into town they rode
There a deputy sheriff approached him
In a manner rather rude
Vulgar words of anger
An' his wife she overheard
Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain
And the deputy grabbed his gun
In the fight that followed
He laid that deputy down
Then he took to the trees and timber
To live a life of shame
Every crime in
Oklahoma Was added to his name
But a many a starving farmer
The same old story told
How the outlaw paid their mortgage
And saved their little homes
Others tell you 'bout a stranger
That come to beg a meal
Underneath his napkin
Left a thousand dollar bill
It was in
Oklahoma City
It was on a
Christmas
Day There was a whole car load of groceries
Come with a note to say
Well you say that
I'm an outlaw
You say that
I'm a thief
Here's a Christmas dinner
For the families on relief
Yes as through this world
I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men
Some will rob you with a six gun
And some with a fountain pen
And as through your life you travel
Yes as through your life you roam
You won't never see an outlaw
Drive a family from their home
