[00:09.76] Well gather around me children
[00:11.95] A story I will tell
[00:14.04] About pretty boy Floyd the outlaw
[00:16.29] Oklahoma knew him well
[00:19.29] He was in the town of Shawnee
[00:21.49] On a Saturday afternoon
[00:23.56] His wife beside him in the wagon
[00:25.91] As into town they rode
[00:38.47] And along come a deputy sheriff
[00:40.57] In a manner rather rude
[00:42.56] Using vulgar words of language
[00:44.86] His wife she overheard
[00:48.20] And pretty boy grabbed a long chain
[00:50.50] And the deputy grabbed a gun
[00:52.41] And in the fight that followed
[00:54.55] He laid that deputy down
[01:07.07] Then he ran through the trees and bushes
[01:09.30] And lived a life of shame
[01:11.25] Every crime in Oklahoma
[01:13.39] Was added to his name
[01:16.58] He ran through trees and bushes
[01:18.48] On the Canadian river shore
[01:20.77] And many a starving farmer
[01:23.11] Opened up his door
[01:35.42] It was in Oklahoma city
[01:37.63] It was on a Christmas day
[01:40.02] A whole carload of groceries
[01:42.01] With a letter that did say
[01:45.25] You say that I'm an outlaw
[01:47.45] You say that I'm a thief
[01:49.51] Well, here's a Christmas dinner
[01:51.50] For the families on relief
[02:04.35] As through this life you travel
[02:06.44] You meet some funny men
[02:08.54] Some rob you with a six-gun
[02:10.69] And some with a fountain pen
[02:13.92] As through this life you ramble
[02:15.96] As through this life you roam
[02:18.10] You'll never see an outlaw
[02:20.26] Take a family from their home
