Pretty Boy Floyd
Come gather 'round me children There's a story I will tell About Pretty Boy Floyd an outlaw Oklahoma knew him well
It was in the town of Shawnee On a Saturday afternoon His wife beside him in the wagon And into town they rode
The deputy sheriff approached them In a manner rather rude Using vulgar words of language And his wife she overheard
Now, Pretty Boy grabbed a long chain And the sheriff he grabbed a gun And in the fight that followed He laid the deputy down
He took to the trees and rivers Oh he's gonna lead a life of shame And every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com In Oklahoma city It was on a Christmas day Came a whole carload of groceries And a letter that did say
'Well you say that I'm a outlaw and you say that I'm a thief Well, here's a Christmas dinner for the children on relief'
As through the world I ramble Well as through the world I roam I ain't never seen an outlaw Drive a family from their home
As through the world I rambled I've seen some funny men Some are gonna rob you with a six-gun Some will do it with a fountain pen
Some are gonna rob you with a six-gun Some will do it with a fountain pen
