《Pretty Boy Floyd》歌词

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

[00:00:09] If you'll gather 'round me, children,

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

[00:00:14] 'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd, an outlaw,

[00:00:16] Oklahoma knew him well.

[00:00:22] It was in the town of Shawnee,

[00:00:27] A Saturday afternoon,

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

[00:00:33] 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,

[00:00:48] An' his wife she overheard.

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

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

[00:01:01] 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

[00:01:29] The same old story told

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

[00:01:34] 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.

[00:01:56] It in was Oklahoma City,

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

[00:02:06] 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,

[00:02:15] You say that I'm a thief.

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

[00:02:20] For the families on relief.

[00:02:25] 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.

[00:02:41] And as through your life you travel,

[00:02:47] Yes, as through your life you roam,

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

[00:02:57] Drive a family from their home.
