Pretty Boy Lyrics in English edurne
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pretty Boy by edurne from Spanish to English.
If you'll gather 'round me, children
If you'll gather 'round me, children
A story I will tell
A story I will tell
'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd, an outlaw
'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd, an outlaw
Oklahoma knew him well
Oklahoma knew him well
It was in the town of Shawnee
It was in the town of Shawnee
A Saturday afternoon
A Saturday afternoon
His wife beside him in his wagon
His wife beside him in his wagon
As into town they rode
As into town they rode
There a deputy sheriff approached him
There a deputy sheriff approached him
In a manner rather rude
In a manner rather rude
Vulgar words of anger
Vulgar words of anger
An' his wife she overheard
An' his wife she overheard
Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain
Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain
And the deputy grabbed his gun
And the deputy grabbed his gun
In the fight that followed
In the fight that followed
He laid that deputy down
He laid that deputy down
Then he took to the trees and timber
Then he took to the trees and timber
To live a life of shame
To live a life of shame
Every crime in Oklahoma
Every crime in Oklahoma
Was added to his name
Was added to his name
But a many a starving farmer
But a many a starving farmer
The same old story told
The same old story told
How the outlaw paid their mortgage
How the outlaw paid their mortgage
And saved their little homes
And saved their little homes
Others tell you 'bout a stranger
Others tell you 'bout a stranger
That come to beg a meal
That come to beg a meal
Underneath his napkin
Underneath his napkin
Left a thousand dollar bill
Left a thousand dollar bill
It was in Oklahoma City
It was in Oklahoma City
It was on a Christmas Day
It was on a Christmas Day
There was a whole car load of groceries
There was a whole car load of groceries
Come with a note to say
Come with a note to say
Well, you say that I'm an outlaw
Well, you say that I'm an outlaw
You say that I'm a thief
You say that I'm a thief
Here's a Christmas dinner
Here's a Christmas dinner
For the families on relief
For the families on relief
Yes, as through this world I've wandered
Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men
I've seen lots of funny men
Some will rob you with a six-gun
Some will rob you with a six-gun
And some with a fountain pen
And some with a fountain pen
And as through your life you travel
And as through your life you travel
Yes, as through your life you roam
Yes, as through your life you roam
You won't never see an outlaw
You won't never see an outlaw
Drive a family from their home
Drive a family from their home
