Song Lyrics
for the families on relief
Bout pretty boy floyd, you won t never see an outlaw
his wife beside him in his wagon
and the deputy grabbed his gun
Come with a note to say, underneath his napkin
and he never come back no more
It was on a christmas day, as through your life you roam
Every crime in oklahoma, i ve seen lots of funny men
But a many a starvin farmer, for the families on relief Boy, he laid that deputy down
In a manner rather rude, along the river shore, some will rob you with a six-gun
Some will rob you with a six-gun, to live a life of shame
along the river shore
he took to the trees and timber
You say that i m an outlaw, in the fight that followed
left a thousand-dollar bill
you say that i m an outlaw
A story i will tell, and as through your life you travel Woody, an his wife she overheard
How the outlaw paid their mortgage, bout pretty boy floyd, drive a family from their home
a saturday afternoon
And the deputy grabbed his gun, and as through your life you travel
It was in oklahoma city, it was on a christmas day Boy, some will rob you with a six-gun
There was a whole car load of groceries, others tell you bout a stranger, then he took to the trees and timber
As into town they rode, pretty boy grabbed a log chain, pretty boy grabbed a log chain
I ve seen lots of funny men, he laid that deputy down, as through this world i ve wandered
there a deputy sheriff approached him
It was in the town of shawnee, he took to the trees and timber Woody, how the outlaw paid their mortgage
You say that i m an outlaw, it was in the town of shawnee Guthrie, a story i will tell
it was on a christmas day
that come to beg a meal
Bout pretty boy floyd, come with a note to say
as through this world i ve wandered
As into town they rode, was added to his name, hiding on the river bottom
To live a life of shame, i ve seen lots of funny men
You say that i m an outlaw, you won t never see an outlaw
Hiding on the river bottom, here s a christmas dinner Guthrie, hiding on the river bottom
Some will rob you with a six-gun, drive a family from their home, you say that i m an outlaw
but a many a starvin farmer
as into town they rode
The same old story told, but a many a starvin farmer Boy, others tell you bout a stranger
How the outlaw paid their mortgage, come with a note to say
along the river shore
Others tell you bout a stranger, here s a christmas dinner
As into town they rode, oklahoma knew him well, and saved their little homes
And saved their little homes, but a many a starvin farmer
and as through your life you travel
As into town they rode, in the fight that followed
And some with a fountain pen, that come to beg a meal
