| [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 |
