Pancho & Lefty |
| Livin on the road my friend, is gonna keep you free and clean |
| Now you wear your skin like iron |
| Your breath as hard as kerosene |
| You weren’t your momma’s only boy, but her favorite one it seems |
| She began to cry when you said goodbye |
| And sank into your dreams |
| Pancho was a bandit boy, his horse was 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 |
| Nobody heard his dyin words, ah but that’s the way it goes |
| All the Federales say, they could’ve 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 Federales say, they could’ve had him any day |
| They only let him slip away out of kindness I suppose |
| The boys tell how old Pancho fell, and Lefty’s livin in cheap hotels |
| The desert’s quiet, Cleveland’s cold |
| And so the story ends we’re told |
| Pancho needs your prayers it’s true, but save a few for Lefty too |
| He only did what he had to do, and now he’s growing old |
| All the Federales say, they could’ve had him any day |
| They only let him go so long, out of kindness I suppose |
| A few gray Federales say, they could’ve had him any day |
| They only let him go so long, out of kindness I suppose |
