[Verse]
CLiving on the road my friend
GIs gonna keep you free and clean
FNow you wear your skin like iron
CYour breath as hard as Gkerosene
FWeren't your mama's only boy
But her fCavorite one it sFeems
Am / F C / G
She began to cry when you said good - bye
And Fsank into your drAmeams
CPancho was a bandit, boys, his
Ghorse was fast as polished steel
He wFore his gun outside his pants
For aCll the honest wGorld to feel
PFancho met his match you know on the
bCorders down in MFexico
Am / F C / G
Nobody heard his dying words
but thFat's the way it gAmoes
[Chorus]
FAll the Federales say
Cthey could have had hFim any day
Am / F C / G
They only let him slip a - way
out of kiFndness I supAmpose
[Verse]
LeCfty he can't sing the blues
Gall night long like he used to
The duFst that Pancho bit down south
Cended up in LGefty's mouth
The daFy they laid poor Pancho low
LCefty split for FOhio
Am / F C / G
Where he got the bread to go
there aFin't nobody knAmows
[Chorus]
FAll the Federales say
Cthey could have had hFim any day
Am / F C / G
They only let him slip a - way
out of kiFndness I suppoAmse

[Verse]
CPoets tell how Pancho fell and
GLefty's living in a cheap hotel
The dFesert's quiet and Cleveland's cold,
CAnd so the story Gends we're told
FPancho needs your prayers it's true but
saCve a few for LFefty too
Am / F C / G
He only did what he had to do
and nFow he's growing Amold
[Outro]
FAll the Federales say
Cthey could have had hiFm any day
Am / F C / G
We only let him slip a - way
out of kFindness I suppAmose
FA few gray Federales say
cCould have had him Fany day
Am / F C / G
We only only let him go so long
out of of kFindness I suppAmose
[Outro]
