(Verse 1)
RELivin' on the road, my friend
Was gonna keep us free and clean
SOLBut now you wear your skin like iron
RE LAAnd your breath's as hard as kerosene
You weren't your mama's only boy
RE SOLBut her favorite one, it seems
SIm SOL LAShe began to cry when you said good bye
And sank into your dreams
(Verse 2)
Pancho was a bandit, boys
LARode a horse fast as polished steel
SOLWore his guns outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
SOLPancho met his match, you know
RE SOLOn the deserts down in Mexico
No one heard his dyin' words
SOL SImBut that's the way it goes
(Chorus)SOLAnd all the federales say
RE SOLThey could have had him any day
They only let him slip away
SOL SImOut of kindness, I suppose
(Verse 3)
RENow Lefty he can't sing the blues
LAAll night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down South
RE LAIt ended up in Lefty's mouth
SOLThe day they laid old Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
SIm SOL LAWhere he got the bread to go
SOL SImWell there ain't nobody 'knows
(Verse 4)
RENow poets sing how Pancho fell
LALefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
RE LAAnd so the story ends, we're told
SOLPancho needs your prayers, it's true
But save a few for Lefty, too
SIm SOL LAHe only did what he had to do
SOL SImAnd now he's growin' old
(Final Chorus)
REYes a few old gray federales still say
RE SOLThey could have had him any day
They only let him go so wrong
SOL SImOut of kindness, I suppose
(Verse 1)
