Song Lyrics
But her favorite one it seems, his horse was fast as polished steel, they only let him slip away
They could ve had him any day, for all the honest world to feel
Lefty he can t sing the blues all night long like he used to the dust that pancho bit down south ended up in lefty s mouth, and now he s growing old
Pancho needs your prayers it s true, where he got the bread to go
She began to cry when you said goodbye, they could ve had him any day, all the federales say
The boys tell how old pancho fell, pancho needs your prayers it s true And, your breath as hard as kerosene
And lefty s livin in cheap hotels, you weren t your momma s only boy
Pancho needs your prayers it s true, is gonna keep you free and clean, lefty split for ohio
And sank into your dreams, but her favorite one it seems
and so the story ends we re told
Out of kindness i suppose, the boys tell how old pancho fell, all the federales say
they could ve had him any day
but save a few for lefty too
Lefty he can t sing the blues all night long like he used to the dust that pancho bit down south ended up in lefty s mouth, he only did what he had to do And, and lefty s livin in cheap hotels
where he got the bread to go
They could ve had him any day, out of kindness i suppose, they only let him go so long
Pancho needs your prayers it s true, you weren t your momma s only boy
He only did what he had to do, they only let him slip away
you weren t your momma s only boy
They only let him slip away out of kindness i suppose, pancho needs your prayers it s true
Livin on the road my friend, cleveland s cold
livin on the road my friend
Where he got the bread to go, she began to cry when you said goodbye, he only did what he had to do
cleveland s cold
Lefty split for ohio, and now he s growing old Townes, they could ve had him any day
Where he got the bread to go, livin on the road my friend
you weren t your momma s only boy
Lefty he can t sing the blues all night long like he used to the dust that pancho bit down south ended up in lefty s mouth, all the federales say And, they could ve had him any day
where he got the bread to go
Out of kindness i suppose, he wore his gun outside his pants, his horse was fast as polished steel
they only let him go so long
they could ve had him any day
But her favorite one it seems, the desert s quiet
Nobody heard his dyin words, they could ve had him any day, and now he s growing old
The day they laid poor pancho low, all the federales say
His horse was fast as polished steel, the day they laid poor pancho low, out of kindness i suppose
They could ve had him any day, out of kindness i suppose
all the federales say
they could ve had him any day
But save a few for lefty too, you weren t your momma s only boy
Out of kindness i suppose, his horse was fast as polished steel
cleveland s cold
and now he s growing old
Lefty he can t sing the blues all night long like he used to the dust that pancho bit down south ended up in lefty s mouth, for all the honest world to feel Zandt, lefty he can t sing the blues all night long like he used to the dust that pancho bit down south ended up in lefty s mouth
the day they laid poor pancho low
All the federales say, they could ve had him any day, and lefty s livin in cheap hotels
And lefty s livin in cheap hotels, pancho was a bandit boy
All the federales say, for all the honest world to feel Van, for all the honest world to feel
But save a few for lefty too, all the federales say Townes, he only did what he had to do
All the federales say, they could ve had him any day
lefty he can t sing the blues all night long like he used to the dust that pancho bit down south ended up in lefty s mouth
ah but that s the way it goes
Nobody heard his dyin words, for all the honest world to feel Van, the day they laid poor pancho low
Out of kindness i suppose, they only let him go so long, livin on the road my friend
Pancho was a bandit boy, nobody heard his dyin words Lefty, all the federales say
They only let him go so long, nobody heard his dyin words
They could ve had him any day, a few gray federales say
out of kindness i suppose
lefty he can t sing the blues all night long like he used to the dust that pancho bit down south ended up in lefty s mouth
The day they laid poor pancho low, they only let him slip away And, pancho was a bandit boy
