The Byrds Pretty Boy Floyd written by Woody Guthrie
F F F Well gather round children, a story I will tell G F F F About Pretty Boy Floyd the outlaw, Oklahoma knew him well F F F Was in the town of Shawnee on a Saturday afternoon G F F F His wife beside him in a wagon as into town they rode
fiddle break
F F F And along come a deputy sheriff in a manner rather rude G F F F Using vulgar words of language and his wife she overheard F And Pretty Boy grabbed a long chain, F F And the deputy grabbed a gun G F F F And in the fight that followed, he laid that deputy down
banjo break
F Then he ran through the trees and bushes F F And lived a life of shame G F F F Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name F F F He ran through trees and bushes on the Canadian River shore G F F F And many a starving farmer opened up his door
fiddle break
F F F It was in Oklahoma City, It was on a Christmas Day G F F F A whole carload of groceries and a letter that did say F F F Well you say that I'm an outlaw, you say that I'm a thief G F F F Well, here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief
mandolin break
F F F As through this life you travel, you meet some funny men G F F F Some rob you with a six-gun, some with a fountain pen F F F As through this life you ramble, as through this life you roam G F F F You'll never see an outlaw take a family from their home
