1
Livin' on the road my friend
2
Was gonna keep you free and clean
3
Now you wear skin like iron
4
And your breath's as hard as kerosene
5
You weren't your mama's only boy
6
But her favorite one it seems
7
She began to cry when you said goodbye
8
And sank into your dreams
9
Pancho was a bandit, boys
10
His horse was fast as polished steel
11
Wore his gun outside his pants
12
For all the honest world to feel
13
Well, Pancho met his match you know
14
On the deserts down in Mexico
15
And nobody heard his dyin' words
16
Ah but that's the way it goes
17
All the Federales say
18
Could of had him any day
19
Only let him any day
20
Hang around
21
Out of kindness I suppose
22
Lefty, he can't sing the blues
23
All night long like he used to
24
The dust that Pancho bit down south
25
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
26
The day they laid poor Pancho low
27
Lefty split for Ohio
28
Where he got the bread to gop
29
There ain't nobody knows
30
Well, the poets tell how Pancho fell
31
And Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
32
The dessert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
33
So the story end's, we're told
34
Pancho needs your prayer's it's true
35
But save a few for Lefty too
36
He just did what he had to do
37
And now he's growin' old
38
A few gray Federales say
39
Could have had him any day
40
Only let him go so long
41
Out of kindness I suppose
