| [00:24.340] |
Livin' on the road my friend |
| [00:28.090] |
Is gonna keep you free and clean |
| [00:32.140] |
And now you wear your skin like iron |
| [00:35.890] |
And your breath is hard as kerosene |
| [00:40.070] |
Weren't you mamma's only boy |
| [00:43.440] |
Her favorite one it seems |
| [00:47.990] |
She began to cry when you said |
| [00:51.360] |
Good-bye sank to your dream |
| [01:01.480] |
Poncho was a bandit boy |
| [01:05.140] |
His horse was fast as polished steel |
| [01:08.890] |
He wore his gun outside his pants |
| [01:12.760] |
For all the honest world to feel |
| [01:16.870] |
Poncho met his match you know |
| [01:20.290] |
On the deserts down in Mexico |
| [01:24.360] |
Nobody heard his dyin' word |
| [01:31.410] |
Oh but that's the way it goes |
| [01:37.650] |
All the Federales they say |
| [01:41.470] |
They could have had him any day |
| [01:44.900] |
They only let him slip away |
| [01:51.330] |
Out of kindness I suppose |
| [01:57.590] |
Lefty he can't sing the blues |
| [02:02.760] |
All night long like he used to |
| [02:07.140] |
The dust that Poncho bit down South |
| [02:09.760] |
Ended up in Lefty's mouth |
| [02:11.750] |
|
| [02:13.480] |
The day they lay poor Poncho low |
| [02:16.920] |
Lefty split for Ohio |
| [02:21.290] |
Where he got the bread to go |
| [02:28.140] |
There ain't nobody knows |
| [02:34.080] |
All the Federales they say |
| [02:37.950] |
We could have had him any day |
| [02:41.700] |
We only let him slip away |
| [02:47.740] |
Out of kindness I suppose |
| [02:48.990] |
The poets tell how Poncho fell |
| [03:24.210] |
And Lefty's livin' in cheap hotels |
| [03:28.210] |
The desert's quiet Cleveland's cold |
| [03:32.080] |
And so the story ends we're told |
| [03:36.000] |
Poncho needs your prayers it's true |
| [03:39.750] |
Save a few for Lefty too |
| [03:43.550] |
He only did what he had to do |
| [03:48.730] |
And now he's growin' old |
| [03:56.120] |
All the Federales they say |
| [04:00.550] |
We could have had him any day |
| [04:04.230] |
They only let him go so long |
| [04:10.100] |
Out of kindness I suppose |
| [04:11.400] |
A few gray Federales they say |
| [04:20.700] |
Could have had him any day |
| [04:24.820] |
We only let him go so long |
| [04:30.430] |
Out of kindness I suppose |
