Williy Nelson & Merle Haggard Miscellaneous Pancho And Lefty (1983) Living on the road my friend was gonna keep you free and clean But now you wear your skin like iron and your breath's as hard as kerosene You weren't your mama's only boy but her favorite one it seems She began to cry when you said goodbye and sank into your dreams Pancho was a bandit boys rode a horse fast as polished steel Wore his guns outside his pants for all the honest world to feel Pancho met his match, you know on the deserts down in Mexico No one heard his dying words but that's the way it goes And all the federales say They could have had him any day They only let him slip away Out of kindness I suppose Now Lefty he can't sing the blues all night long like he used to The dust that Pancho bit down South it ended up in Lefty's mouth The day they laid old Pancho low Lefty split for Ohio Where he got the bread to go well there ain't nobody knows But all the federales say They could have had him any day They only let him slip away Out of kindness I suppose Now poets tell how Pancho fell Lefty's living in a cheap hotel The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold and so the story ends we're told Pancho needs your prayers it's true but save a few for Lefty too He only did what he had to do and now he's growing old And all the federales say They could have had him any day They only let him go so long Out of kindness I suppose Yes a few gray federales say They could have had him any day They only let him go so long Out of kindness I suppose |
