(Verse 1)
DLivin' on the road, my friend
Was gonna keep us free and clean
GBut now you wear your skin like iron
D AAnd your breath's as hard as kerosene
You weren't your mama's only boy
D GBut her favorite one, it seems
Bm G AShe began to cry when you said good bye
And sank into your dreams
(Verse 2)
Pancho was a bandit, boys
ARode a horse fast as polished steel
GWore his guns outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
GPancho met his match, you know
D GOn the deserts down in Mexico
No one heard his dyin' words
G BmBut that's the way it goes
(Chorus)GAnd all the federales say
D GThey could have had him any day
They only let him slip away
G BmOut of kindness, I suppose
(Verse 3)
DNow Lefty he can't sing the blues
AAll night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down South
D AIt ended up in Lefty's mouth
GThe day they laid old Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Bm G AWhere he got the bread to go
G BmWell there ain't nobody 'knows
(Verse 4)
DNow poets sing how Pancho fell
ALefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
D AAnd so the story ends, we're told
GPancho needs your prayers, it's true
But save a few for Lefty, too
Bm G AHe only did what he had to do
G BmAnd now he's growin' old
(Final Chorus)
DYes a few old gray federales still say
D GThey could have had him any day
They only let him go so wrong
G BmOut of kindness, I suppose
