Pancho And Lefty Lyrics
Pancho And Lefty by Various Artists
Was gonna keep you free and clean
And now you wear your skin like iron
And your breath as hard as kerosene
Weren't you 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
He 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 dyin' words
But that's the way it goes
All the federales say
"They could have had him any day"
They only let him slip away
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 knows
All the federales say
"They could have had him any day"
We only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose
The poets tell how Pancho fell
And lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
The desert's quiet and 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 only did what he had to do
And now he's growin' old
All the federales say
"We could have had him any day"
They only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose
A few old gray federales say
"Could have had him any day"
We only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose
