************************************
[Verse 1]
D
Living on the road my friend
A
Was gonna keep you free and clean
G
Now you wear your skin like iron
D A
Your breath's as hard as kerosene
G
You weren't your mama's only boy
D G
But her favorite one it seems
Em9 G A
She began to cry when you said goodbye
G Em9 A
And sank into your dreams
[Verse 2]
D
Pancho was a bandit boys
A
His horse was fast as polished steel
G
Wore his gun outside his pants
D A
For all the honest world to feel
G
Pancho met his match you know
D G
On the deserts down in Mexico
Em9 G A
Nobody heard his dying words
G Em9 A
That's the way it goes
[Chorus]
G
All the federales say
D G
They could have had him any day
Em9 A
They only let him slip away
G Em9 A
Out of kindness I suppose
[Verse 3]
D
Lefty he can't sing the blues
A
All night long like he used to
G
The dust that Pancho bit down south
D A
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
G
The day they laid poor Pancho low
D G
Lefty split for Ohio
Em9 G A
Where he got the bread to go
G Em9 A
There ain't nobody knows
[Chorus]
