Pancho & Lefty

Living on the road my friend,

Is gonna keep you free and clean

Now you wear your skin like iron,

And your breath as hard as kerosene.

You weren't your mama's only boy,

But her favorite one it seems

She began to cry when you said goodbye,

Sank into your dreams.Pancho was a bandit boy,

His horse was fast as polished steel

Wore his gun outside his pants

For all the honest world to feel.

Pancho met his match you know

On the deserts down in Mexico

Nobody heard his dying words,

Ah but that's the way it goes.All the Federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him hang around

Out of kindness, I suppose.Lefty, he can't sing the blues

All night long like he used to.

The dust that Pancho bit down south

Ended up in Lefty's mouth

The day they laid poor Pancho low,

Lefty split for Ohio

Where he got the bread to go,

There ain't nobody knowsAll the Federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him slip awayNow the poets tell how Pancho fell,

And Lefty's living in cheap hotel

The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold,

And so the story ends we're told

Pancho needs your prayers it's true,

But save a few for Lefty too

He just did what he had to do,

And now he's growing oldAnd a few great Federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him go so wrong

Out of kindness, I suppose.A few great Federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him go so wrong

Out of kindness, I suppose.
