Pretty Boy Floyd

D G D If you'll gather 'ro…..und me, children, a story I will tell, A A7 D 'bout Pretty Boy Floyd, an outlaw, Oklahoma knew him well. D G D It was in the to……wn of Shawnee, it was Saturday afternoon, A A7 D his wife beside him in his wagon as into town they rode. D G D There a deputy sher…iff approached him in a manner rather rude, A A7 D using vulgar words of language, an' his wife she overheard. D G D Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain, and the deputy grabbed his gun, A A7 D in the fight that followed he laid that deputy down. D G D Then he took to the trees and timber to live a life of shame, A A7 D every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name. D G D But there’s many a sta….rving farmer, the same old story told, A A7 D how this outlaw paid their mortgage and saved their little homes. D G D Others tell you o……f a stranger that comes to beg a meal, A A7 D and underneath his napkin left a thousand dollar bill. D G D It was in Oklaho……ma City, it was on a Christmas Day, A A7 D there come a whole car load of groceries with a letter that did say: D G D “Well, you say that I'm an outlaw, you say that I'm a thief, A A7 D here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief.” D G D Now, as through this wo…….rld I ramble, I see lots of funny men, A A7 D some will rob you with a six-gun, some with a fountain pen. D G D But as through your life you travel, and as through your life you roam, A A7 D you will never see an outlaw drive a family from their home.
