1
Well gather around me children
2
A story I will tell
3
About pretty boy Floyd the outlaw
4
Oklahoma knew him well
5
He was in the town of Shawnee
6
On a Saturday afternoon
7
His wife beside him in the wagon
8
As into town they rode
9
And along come a deputy sheriff
10
In a manner rather rude
11
Using vulgar words of language
12
His wife she overheard
13
And pretty boy grabbed a long chain
14
And the deputy grabbed a gun
15
And in the fight that followed
16
He laid that deputy down
17
Then he ran through the trees and bushes
18
And lived a life of shame
19
Every crime in Oklahoma
20
Was added to his name
21
He ran through trees and bushes
22
On the Canadian river shore
23
And many a starving farmer
24
Opened up his door
25
It was in Oklahoma city
26
It was on a Christmas day
27
A whole carload of groceries
28
With a letter that did say
29
You say that I'm an outlaw
30
You say that I'm a thief
31
Well, here's a Christmas dinner
32
For the families on relief
33
As through this life you travel
34
You meet some funny men
35
Some rob you with a six-gun
36
And some with a fountain pen
37
As through this life you ramble
38
As through this life you roam
39
You'll never see an outlaw
40
Take a family from their home
