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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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