1
Well gather round children, a story I will tell
2
About pretty boy Floyd the outlaw, Oklahoma knew him well
3
Was in the town of Shawnee on a Saturday afternoon
4
His wife beside him in a wagon as into town they rode
5
And along come a deputy sheriff in a manner rather rude
6
Using vulgar words of language and his wife she overheard
7
And pretty boy Floyd grabbed a long chain, and the deputy grabbed a gun
8
And in the fight that followed, he laid that deputy down
9
Then he ran through the trees and bushes and lived a life of shame
10
Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name
11
He ran through trees and bushes on the Canadian River shore
12
And many a starving farmer opened up his door
13
It was in Oklahoma City, it was on a Christmas day
14
A whole carload of groceries and a letter that did say
15
You say that I'm an outlaw, you say that I'm a thief
16
Well, here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief
17
As through this life you travel, you meet some funny men
18
Some rob you with a six-gun, and some with a fountain pen
19
As through this life you ramble, as through this life you roam
20
You'll never see an outlaw take a family from their home
