[00:08.82] |
If you'll gather 'round me children |
[00:11.50] |
A story I will tell |
[00:13.56] |
'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd an outlaw |
[00:16.37] |
Oklahoma knew him well |
[00:21.81] |
It was in the town of Shawnee |
[00:26.63] |
A Saturday afternoon |
[00:29.25] |
His wife beside him in his wagon |
[00:32.56] |
As into town they rode |
[00:37.99] |
There a deputy sheriff approached him |
[00:42.18] |
In a manner rather rude |
[00:45.49] |
Vulgar words of anger |
[00:47.62] |
An' his wife she overheard |
[00:55.93] |
Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain |
[00:58.18] |
And the deputy grabbed his gun; |
[01:00.62] |
In the fight that followed |
[01:01.99] |
He laid that deputy down |
[01:06.93] |
Then he took to the trees and timber |
[01:12.51] |
To live a life of shame; |
[01:15.39] |
Every crime in Oklahoma |
[01:18.33] |
Was added to his name |
[01:25.07] |
But a many a starving farmer |
[01:28.83] |
The same old story told |
[01:31.95] |
How the outlaw paid their mortgage |
[01:33.79] |
And saved their little homes |
[01:40.22] |
Others tell you 'bout a stranger |
[01:42.22] |
That come to beg a meal |
[01:45.41] |
Underneath his napkin |
[01:47.28] |
Left a thousand dollar bill |
[01:55.79] |
It was in Oklahoma City |
[02:02.23] |
It was on a Christmas Day |
[02:05.60] |
There was a whole car load of groceries |
[02:07.44] |
Come with a note to say: |
[02:12.19] |
Well you say that I'm an outlaw |
[02:14.75] |
You say that I'm a thief |
[02:16.32] |
Here's a Christmas dinner |
[02:19.69] |
For the families on relief |
[02:24.88] |
Yes as through this world I've wandered |
[02:30.32] |
I've seen lots of funny men; |
[02:34.00] |
Some will rob you with a six-gun |
[02:36.94] |
And some with a fountain pen |
[02:40.69] |
And as through your life you travel |
[02:46.82] |
Yes as through your life you roam |
[02:52.34] |
You won't never see an outlaw |
[02:56.78] |
Drive a family from their home |
