-Pancho and Lefty\r
-(Townes Van Zandt)\r
-\r
-D\r
-Livin' on the road, my friend\r
-A\r
-Was gonna keep us free and clean\r
-G\r
-But now you wear your skin like iron\r
-D A\r
-And your breath's as hard as kerosene\r
-G\r
-You weren't your mama's only boy\r
-D G\r
-But her favorite one, it seems\r
-Bm\r
-She began to cry\r
- G A\r
-When you said good bye\r
-G Bm\r
-And sank into your dreams\r
-\r
-Pancho was a bandit, boys\r
-Rode a horse fast as polished steel\r
-Wore his guns outside his pants\r
-For all the honest world to feel\r
-Pancho met his match, you know\r
-On the deserts down in Mexico\r
-No one heard his dyin' words\r
-But that's the way it goes\r
-\r
-G\r
-And all the federales say\r
-D G\r
-They could have had him any day\r
-Bm G A\r
-They only let him slip away\r
- G Bm\r
-Out of kindness, I suppose\r
-\r
-Now Lefty he can't sing the blues\r
-All night long like he used to\r
-The dust that Pancho bit down South\r
-It ended up in Lefty's mouth\r
-The day they laid old Pancho low\r
-Lefty split for Ohio\r
-Where he got the bread to go\r
-Well there ain't nobody 'knows\r
-\r
-But all the federales say\r
-They could have had him any day\r
-They only let him slip away\r
-Out of kindness, I suppose\r
-\r
-Now poets sing how Pancho fell\r
-Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel\r
-The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold\r
-And so the story ends, we're told\r
-Pancho needs your prayers, it's true\r
-But save a few for Lefty, too\r
-He only did what he had to do\r
-And now he's growin' old\r
-\r
-And all the federales say\r
-They could have had him any day\r
-They only let him go so long\r
-Out of kindness, I suppose\r
-\r
-Yes a few old gray federales still say\r
-They could have had him any day\r
-They only let him go so wrong\r
-Out of kindness, I suppose\r
