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
