Pretty Boy Floyd (Album) - Joel Rafael

If you'll gather round me children

A story i will tell

But pretty boy floyd an outlaw

Oklahoma knew him well

It was in the town of shawnee

A saturday afternoon

His wife beside him in his wagon

As into town they rode

There a deputy sheriff approached him

In a manner rather rude

Vulgar words of anger

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

But a many a starving 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

Come with a note to say

Well you say that i'm an outlaw

You say that i'm a thief

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

And 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
