john paul white - pretty boy floyd lyrics
if you’ll gather ’round me, children
a story i will tell
about pretty boy floyd, an outlaw
oklahoma knew him well
it was in the town of shawnee
a sat+rday afternoon
his wife beside him in his wagon
as into town they rode
there a deputy sheriff approached him
in a manner rather rude
vulgar words of anger
and his wife she overheard
pretty boy grabbed a log chain
and the deputy grabbed his gun
and in the fight that followed
he laid that deputy down
and he took to the trees and timber
to live a life of shame
every crime in oklahoma
was added to his name
oh but many a starving farmer
the same ol’ story told
how the outlaw paid their mortgage
to saved their little homes
others tell you ’bout a stranger
that come to beg a meal
and underneath his napkin
left a thousand+dollar bill
it was in oklahoma city
on a christmas day
there was a whole carload of groceries
come with a note to say
“well, you say that i’m an outlaw
you say that i’m a thief
well here’s a christmas dinner
for families on relief”
yes, through this world i’ve wandered
i’ve seen lots of funny men
some will rob you with a six+gun
and some with a fountain pen
and as through your life you travel
yes, through your life you roam
you won’t never see an outlaw
drive a family from their home
