Pretty Boy Floyd |
Well gather 'round me children, a story I will tell |
About Pretty Boy Floyd the outlaw, Oklahoma knew him well |
It was in the town of Shawnee on a Saturday afternoon |
His wife beside him in the wagon as into town they rode |
Then along came the deputy sheriff in a manner rather rude |
Using vulgar words of language, his wife she overheard |
Then Pretty Boy grabbed a long chain and the deputy grabbed a gun |
And in the fight that followed he laid that deputy down |
Then he ran to the trees and bushes to live a life of shame |
Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name |
He ran to the trees and bushes on the Canadian river shore |
And many a starving farming opened up his door |
It was in Oklahoma City, it was on a Christmas day |
A whole carload of groceries with a letter that did say |
'You say that I’m an outlaw, you say that I’m a thief ' |
'Well here’s a Christmas dinner for the families on relief' |
As through this life you travel you meet some funny men |
Some will rob you with a six gun and some with a fountain pen |
As through this life you ramble, as through this life you roam |
You’ll never see an outlaw take a family from their home |
