《Pretty Boy Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Pretty Boy Blues - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:08] If you'll gather 'round me children

[00:00:11] A story I will tell

[00:00:13] 'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd an outlaw

[00:00:16] Oklahoma knew him well

[00:00:21] It was in the town of Shawnee

[00:00:26] A Saturday afternoon

[00:00:29] His wife beside him in his wagon

[00:00:32] As into town they rode

[00:00:38] There a deputy sheriff approached him

[00:00:42] In a manner rather rude

[00:00:45] Vulgar words of anger

[00:00:47] An' his wife she overheard

[00:00:56] Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain

[00:00:58] And the deputy grabbed his gun;

[00:01:00] In the fight that followed

[00:01:02] He laid that deputy down

[00:01:07] Then he took to the trees and timber

[00:01:12] To live a life of shame;

[00:01:15] Every crime in Oklahoma

[00:01:18] Was added to his name

[00:01:25] But a many a starving farmer

[00:01:28] The same old story told

[00:01:32] How the outlaw paid their mortgage

[00:01:33] And saved their little homes

[00:01:40] Others tell you 'bout a stranger

[00:01:42] That come to beg a meal

[00:01:45] Underneath his napkin

[00:01:47] Left a thousand dollar bill

[00:01:55] It was in Oklahoma City

[00:02:02] It was on a Christmas Day

[00:02:05] There was a whole car load of groceries

[00:02:07] Come with a note to say:

[00:02:12] Well you say that I'm an outlaw

[00:02:14] You say that I'm a thief

[00:02:16] Here's a Christmas dinner

[00:02:19] For the families on relief

[00:02:24] Yes as through this world I've wandered

[00:02:30] I've seen lots of funny men;

[00:02:34] Some will rob you with a six-gun

[00:02:37] And some with a fountain pen

[00:02:40] And as through your life you travel

[00:02:46] Yes as through your life you roam

[00:02:52] You won't never see an outlaw

[00:02:56] Drive a family from their home
