Nelson And Lesty

[00:24.47] Livin' on the road, my friend

[00:28.19] Was gonna keep you free and clean

[00:31.90] And now you wear your skin like iron

[00:35.89] And your breath is hard as kerosene

[00:40.15] Weren't you mamma's only boy?

[00:43.60] Her favorite one it seems

[00:47.84] She began to cry when you said goodbye

[00:55.56] Sank to your dreams

[01:01.39] Pancho was a bandit, boys

[01:05.12] His horse was fast as polished steel

[01:08.83] He wore his gun outside his pants

[01:12.55] For all the honest world to feel

[01:16.53] Pancho met his match, you know

[01:20.52] On the deserts down in Mexico

[01:23.71] Nobody heard his dyin' words

[01:31.42] Oh, but that's the way it goes

[01:37.54] All the Federales say

[01:41.25] They could have had him any day

[01:45.23] They only let him slip away

[01:51.61] Out of kindness, I suppose

[01:57.72] Lefty, he can't sing the blues

[02:01.70] All night long like he used to

[02:05.69] The dust that Pancho bit down South

[02:09.40] Ended up in Lefty's mouth

[02:13.39] The day they lay poor Pancho low

[02:17.40] Lefty split for Ohio

[02:21.14] Where he got the bread to go

[02:28.03] There ain't nobody knows

[02:34.13] All the Federales say

[02:37.87] We could have had him any day

[02:41.86] We only let him slip away

[02:48.22] Out of kindness, I suppose

[03:20.91] The poets tell how Pancho fell

[03:24.37] And Lefty's livin' in cheap hotels

[03:28.35] The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold

[03:32.33] And so the story ends, we're told

[03:36.05] Pancho needs your prayers, it's true

[03:39.77] Save a few for Lefty, too

[03:43.76] He only did what he had to do

[03:50.66] And now he's growin' old

[03:56.23] All the Federales say

[04:00.23] We could have had him any day

[04:04.20] They only let him go so long

[04:10.58] Out of kindness, I suppose

[04:16.68] A few gray Federales say

[04:20.67] Could have had him any day

[04:24.40] We only let him go so long

[04:30.77] Out of kindness, I suppose
