lirik lagu pete seeger & arlo guthrie - pretty boy floyd
if you’ll gather ’round me, children
a story i will tell
’bout 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
using vulgar words of language
an’ his wife she overheard
pretty boy grabbed a log chain
and the deputy grabbed his gun;
in the fight that followed
he laid that deputy down
he took to the trees and timber
to live a life of shame;
every crime in oklahoma
was added to his name
y’know he took to the trees and timber
on the canadian the river shore
but the outlaw found a welcome
at many a farmer’s door
but a many a starvin’ farmer
the same old story told
how the outlaw paid their mortgage
and saved their little homes
others tell you ’bout a stranger
that come to beg a meal
underneath his napkin
left a thousand~dollar bill
it was in oklahoma city
it was on a christmas day
there was a whole car load of groceries
with a letter that did say:
“you say that i’m an outlaw
yes, you say that i’m a thief
well here’s a christmas dinner
for the families on relief.””
yes, as 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
but as through your life you travel
yes, as through your life you roam
you won’t never see an outlaw
drive a family from their home
