Pretty Boy Floyd Lyrics - Joan Baez

Well gather round children, a story i will tell 

About pretty boy floyd the outlaw, oklahoma knew him well 

Was in the town of shawnee on a saturday afternoon 

His wife beside him in a wagon as into town they rode 

And along come a deputy sheriff in a manner rather rude 

Using vulgar words of language and his wife she overheard 

And pretty boy floyd grabbed a long chain, and the deputy grabbed a gun 

And in the fight that followed, he laid that deputy down 

Then he ran through the trees and bushes and lived a life of shame 

Every crime in oklahoma was added to his name

He ran through trees and bushes on the canadian river shore 

And many a starving farmer opened up his door 

It was in oklahoma city, it was on a christmas day 

A whole carload of groceries and a letter that did say 

Well you say that i'm an outlaw, you say that i'm a thief 

Well, here's a christmas dinner for the families on relief

As through this life you travel, you meet some funny men 

Some rob you with a six-gun, some with a fountain pen 

As through this life you ramble, as through this life you roam 

You'll never see an outlaw take a family from their home
