[00:00.00] Pretty Boy Floyd - Cisco Houston
[00:04.82] If you'll gather 'round me children
[00:10.78] A story I will tell
[00:14.02] 'Bout pretty boy Floyd an outlaw
[00:17.81] Oklahoma knew him well
[00:22.95] It was in the town of Shawnee
[00:27.29] A Saturday afternoon
[00:30.52] His wife beside him in his wagon
[00:34.36] As into town they rode
[00:40.24] There a deputy sheriff approached him
[00:44.60] In a manner rather rude
[00:48.01] Vulgar words of anger
[00:51.40] An' his wife she overheard
[00:56.78] Pretty boy grabbed a log chain
[01:01.48] And the deputy grabbed his gun
[01:05.15] In the fight that followed
[01:08.53] He laid that deputy down
[01:14.49] Then he took to the trees and timber
[01:18.74] To live a life of shame
[01:22.29] Every crime in Oklahoma
[01:26.10] Was added to his name
[01:30.03] Then he took to the trees and timber
[01:34.27] On that Canadian River's shore
[01:37.86] And the outlaw found a welcome
[01:42.31] At many a farmer's door
[01:48.30] But a many a starving farmer
[01:52.40] The same old story told
[01:55.84] How the outlaw paid their mortgage
[01:58.56] And saved their little homes
[02:02.69] Others tell you 'bout a stranger
[02:06.91] That come to beg a meal
[02:10.48] Underneath his napkin
[02:13.60] Left a thousand dollar bill
[02:18.59] It was in Oklahoma City
[02:23.43] It was on a Christmas day
[02:26.62] There was a whole car load of groceries
[02:30.11] Come with a note to say
[02:34.67] Well you say that I'm an outlaw
[02:38.27] You say that I'm a thief
[02:41.32] Here's a Christmas dinner
[02:45.15] For the families on relief
[02:50.41] Yes as through this world I've wandered
[02:55.59] I've seen lots of funny men
[02:59.22] Some will rob you with a six gun
[03:02.61] And some with a fountain pen
[03:07.76] And as through your life you travel
[03:12.96] Yes as through your life you roam
[03:16.39] You won't never see an outlaw
[03:19.68] Drive a family from their home
