作曲：

Living on the road my friend was gonna keep you free and clean

But now you wear your skin like iron and your breath's as hard as kerosene

You weren't your mama's only boy but her favorite one it seems

She began to cry when you said goodbye and sank into your dreams

Pancho was a bandit boys rode a horse fast as polished steel

Wore his guns outside his pants for all the honest world to feel

Pancho met his match you know on the deserts down in Mexico

No one heard his dying words but that's the way it goes

And all the federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him slip away

Out of kindness I suppose

Now Lefty he can't sing the blues all night long like he used to

The dust that Pancho bit down South it ended up in Lefty's mouth

The day they laid old Pancho low Lefty split for Ohio

Where he got the bread to go well there ain't nobody knows

But all the federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him slip away

Out of kindness I suppose

Now poets tell how Pancho fell Lefty's living in a cheap hotel

The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold and so the story ends we're told

Pancho needs your prayers it's true but save a few for Lefty too

He only did what he had to do and now he's growing old

And all the federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him go so long

Out of kindness I suppose

Yes a few gray federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him go so long

Out of kindness I suppose
