Lyrics:
PRETTY BOY FLOYD (Woody Guthrie)
Come gather round me children, a story I will tell Of Pretty Boy Floyd, an outlaw, Oklahoma knew him well
It was in the town of Shawnee It was Saturday afternoon His wife beside him in the wagon as into town they rode
A deputy sheriff approached them in a manner rather rude Using vulgar words of language and his wife she overheard
Well, Pretty Boy grabbed a long chain, and the deputy grabbed his gun And in the fight that followed, he laid that deputy down
(NOT this version - 2 verse Then he took to the trees and rivers to lead a life of shame Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name
Yes he took to the trees and timbers on the Canadian river shore And the outlaw found a welcome at many a farmer's door NOT this version)
Yes, there's many a starving farmer, the same story told How the outlaw paid their mortgage and saved their little home
Others tell about the stranger that came to beg a meal And underneath the napkin left a thousand dollar bill
It was in Oklahoma City, it was on a Christmas day There come a whole carload of groceries and a letter that did say
Well, you say that I'm an outlaw, and you say that I'm a thief Here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief
Well, as through the world I've rambled, I've seen lots of funny men Some rob you with a sixgun, some with a fountain pen
As through this world you ramble, as through this world you roam You'll never see an outlaw drive a family from its home
recorded by Seeger - 3 Saints
