Townes Van Zandt - Pancho & Lefty [alternate 1972 mix] Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Living on the road my friend
  • Was gonna keep you free and clean
  • Now you wear your skin like iron
  • 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
  • His horse was fast as polished steel
  • Wore his gun outside his pants
  • For all the honest world to feel
  • Pancho met his match you know
  • On the deserts down in Mexico
  • Nobody heard his dying words
  • That's the way it goes
  • All the federales say
  • They could have had him any day
  • They only let him hang around
  • Out of kindness I suppose
  • Lefty he can't sing the blues
  • All night long like he used to
  • The dust that Pancho bit down south
  • Ended up in Lefty's mouth
  • The day they laid poor Pancho low
  • Lefty split for Ohio
  • Where he got the bread to go
  • There ain't nobody knows
  • All the federales say
  • They could have had him any day
  • They only let him slip away
  • Out of kindness I suppose
  • The poets tell how Pancho fell
  • Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
  • The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
  • So the story ends we're told
  • Pancho needs your prayers it's true,
  • But save a few for Lefty too
  • He just did what he had to do
  • Now he's growing old
  • A few gray federales say
  • They could have had him any day
  • They only let him go so wrong
  • Out of kindness I suppose
