《Pretty Boy Floyd(1955)》歌词

[00:00:00] Pretty Boy Floyd((1955)) - Ramblin´ Jack Elliott

[00:00:08] If you gather round the children

[00:00:13] A story I will tell

[00:00:18] A Pretty Boy Floyd the outlaw

[00:00:21] Oklahoma knew him well

[00:00:27] It was in the town of Shawnee was Saturday afternoon

[00:00:33] His wife beside him in wagon as into town they rode

[00:00:41] Her deputy sheriff approached in a manner rather rude

[00:00:47] Using vulgar words of language

[00:00:51] His wife she overheard

[00:00:57] Pretty boy grabbed a long chain

[00:00:59] And the deputy grabbed a gun

[00:01:01] And in the fight that followed

[00:01:04] He laid that deputy down

[00:01:12] He fly to the hill

[00:01:15] To live a life of shame

[00:01:17] Every crimenal in Oklahoma was added to his name

[00:01:26] But a many a starving farmer

[00:01:29] The same old story told

[00:01:32] How the outlaw paid their mortgage

[00:01:37] Saved their little homes

[00:01:42] Others tell you about a stranger

[00:01:44] That come to beg a meal

[00:01:46] Underneath his napkin

[00:01:50] Left a thousand dollar bill

[00:01:57] It was in Oklahoma City

[00:02:01] It was on a Christmas Day

[00:02:04] There was a whole carload of groceries

[00:02:08] And a letter that did say

[00:02:12] You say that I'm an outlaw

[00:02:14] You say that I'm a thief

[00:02:16] Here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief

[00:02:23] As through this world I ramble

[00:02:28] I've seen lots of funny men

[00:02:32] Some rob you with a six-gun

[00:02:36] Some with a fountain pen

[00:02:40] And as through your life you travel

[00:02:43] As through your life you roam

[00:02:47] You'll never see an outlaw

[00:02:52] Drive a family from their home
