Woody Guthrie - Pretty boy floyd

Come and ^Egather 'round me, ^E7children, a ^Astory I will ^Etell About Pret^Aty Boy Floyd, the ^Eoutlaw, Okla^B7homa knew him ^Ewell.

It was ^Ein the town of ^E7Shawnee on a^A Saturday afte^Ernoon, His wife b^Aeside him in the ^Ewagon, as ^B7into town they ^Erode.

There a ^Edeputy sheriff appr^E7oached him in a ^Amanner rather ^Erude, Using ^Avulgar words of ^Eanger, and his ^B7wife, she over^Eheard.

^EPretty Boy grabbed a ^E7log chain; the ^Adeputy grabbed his ^Egun, And ^Ain the fight that ^Efollowed he ^B7laid that deputy ^Edown.

Then he ^Etook to the trees and ^E7timber to ^Alive a life of ^Eshame, Every ^Acrime in Okla^Ehoma was ^B7added to his ^Ename.

Yes, he ^Etook to the river ^E7bottom a^Along the river ^Eshore, And ^APretty Boy found a ^Ewelcome at ^B7every farmer's ^Edoor.

The ^Epapers said that ^E7Pretty Boy had ^Arobbed a bank each ^Eday, While he was ^Asettling in some ^Efarmhouse, three ^B7hundred miles a^Eway.

There's ^Emany a starving ^E7farmer the ^Asame old story ^Etold, How the ^Aoutlaw paid their ^Emortgage and ^B7saved their little ^Ehome.

Others ^Etell you 'bout a ^E7stranger that ^Acome to beg a ^Emeal, And ^Aunderneath his ^Enapkin left a ^B7thousand-dollar ^Ebill.

It was in ^EOklahoma ^E7City, it was ^Aon a Christmas ^EDay, There came a ^Awhole carload of ^Egroceries ^B7with a note to ^Esay:

‘You ^Esay that I'm an ^E7outlaw, you ^Asay that I'm a ^Ethief, ^AHere's a Christmas ^Edinner for the ^B7families on re^Elief.'

Yes, as ^Ethrough this world I've ^E7rambled I've seen ^Alots of funny ^Emen, Some will ^Arob you with a ^Esix gun, and ^B7some with a fountain ^Epen.

But as ^Ethrough your life you'll ^E7travel, wher^Aever you may ^Eroam, You won't ^Anever see no ^Eoutlaw drive a ^B7family from their ^Ehome.
