F C F You weren't your mama's only boy, but her favorite one it seems C F C G She began to cry when you said goodbye, F Am Am G C And sank into your dreams. C G Pancho was a bandit boys, his horse was fast as polished steel F He wore his gun outside his pants C G For all the honest world to feel. F C F Pancho met his match you know on the deserts down in Mexico C F C G F Am Am G F Nobody heard his dying words, ah but that's the way it goes. F C F All the Federales say they could have had him any day C F C G F Am They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose. Am G C C G Lefty, he can't sing the blues all night long like he used to. F C G The dust that Pancho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth F C F The day they laid poor Pancho low, Lefty split for Ohio C F C G F Am Where he got the bread to go, there ain't nobody knows Am G F F C F All the Federales say they could have had him any day C F C G F Am Am G C They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose. C G Poets tell how Pancho fell, and Lefty's living in a cheap hotel F The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold, C G And so the story ends we're told F C F Pancho needs your prayers it's true, but save a few for Lefty too C F C G F Am He only did what he had to do, and now he's growing old Am G F F C F All the Federales say they could have had him any day C F C G F Am They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose. Am G F F C F A few gray Federales say they could have had him any day C F C G F Am They only let him go so long, out of of kindness, I suppose. Back to index / h / harris_emmyl
