[00:10.42] Well gather round me children
[00:12.58] A story I will tell
[00:14.61] About Pretty Boy Floyd, the outlaw
[00:16.67] Homer knew him well
[00:20.04] He was in the town of Shawnee on Saturday afternoon
[00:23.84] His wife decided in a wagon and into town they rode
[00:39.05] And along come a deputy sheriff
[00:40.98] In a manner rather rude
[00:43.07] Using vulgar words of language
[00:45.35] His wife, she overheard
[00:48.76] Then Pretty Boy Floyd grabbed a long chain
[00:50.69] The deputy grabbed a gun
[00:52.93] And in the fight that followed
[00:54.87] He laid that deputy down
[01:07.70] And he ran through the trees and bushes
[01:09.63] He lived a life of shame
[01:11.76] Every crime in oklahoma, was added to his name
[01:17.19] He ran through trees and bushes
[01:18.89] On the Canadian river shore
[01:21.21] And many starving farmer opened up his door
[01:35.85] Was in oklahoma city, it was on a Christmas Day
[01:40.19] A car load of groceries with a letter that did say
[01:45.67] You say that I'm an outlaw, you say that I'm a thief
[01:49.94] Well, here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief
[02:04.83] As through this life you travel
[02:06.87] You meet some funny men
[02:09.10] Some will rob you with a six-gun
[02:11.09] And some with a fountain pen
[02:14.38] As through this life you ramble
[02:16.35] As through this life you roam
[02:18.44] You'll never see an outlaw
[02:20.59] Take a family from your home
