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