    If you'll gather 'ro…..und me, children, a story I will tell,
                                               A                  A7                       D
    'bout Pretty Boy Floyd, an outlaw, Oklahoma knew him well.

              D                                                         G                    D
    It was in the to……wn of Shawnee, it was Saturday afternoon,
                                               A           A7                     D
    his wife beside him in his wagon as into town they rode.

                    D                                                         G                   D
    There a deputy sher…iff approached him in a manner rather rude,
                                               A                   A7                  D
    using vulgar words of language, an' his wife she overheard.

       D                                                            G                             D
    Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain, and the deputy grabbed his gun,
                              A                A7                      D
    in the fight that followed he laid that deputy down.

                    D                                              G                  D
    Then he took to the trees and timber to live a life of shame,
                                    A               A7                D
    every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name.

                        D                                              G                     D
    But there’s many a sta….rving farmer, the same old story told,
                                                A                   A7                      D
    how this outlaw paid their mortgage and saved their little homes.

                D                                              G                         D
   Others tell you o……f a stranger that comes to beg a meal,
                                      A                   A7                   D
    and underneath his napkin left a thousand dollar bill.

                   D                                        G                        D
    It was in Oklaho……ma City, it was on a Christmas Day,
                                                          A                     A7                  D
    there come a whole car load of groceries with a letter that did say:

                      D                                         G                    D
    “Well, you say that I'm an outlaw, you say that I'm a thief,
                                    A                    A7                D
    here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief.”

                       D                                                      G                   D
    Now, as through this wo…….rld I ramble, I see lots of funny men,
                                             A          A7                               D
    some will rob you with a six-gun, some with a fountain pen.

                      D                                                      G                            D
    But as through your life you travel, and as through your life you roam,
                                        A                    A7                       D
    you will never see an outlaw drive a family from their home.
