Pancho and Lefty
Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard
Livin’ on the roadmy friend
Was gonna keep youfree and clean
Now you wear yourskin like iron
And your breath’sas hard as kerosene
You weren’t yourmama’s only boy
But her favoriteone it seems
She began to crywhen you said goodbye
And sank into yourdreams
Pancho was a banditboys
His horse was fastas polished steel
He wore his gunoutside his pants
For all the honestworld to feel
Pancho met hismatch you know
On the deserts downin Mexico
Nobody heard hisdyin’ words
Oh that’s the wayit goes
All the Federalessay
They could have hadhim any day
They only let him slipaway
Out of kindness Isuppose
Lefty
He can’t sing theblues
All night long likehe used to
The dust thatPancho bit down south
Ended up in Lefty’smouth
The day they laidpoor Pancho low
Lefty split forOhio
Where he got thebread to go
There ain’t nobodyknows
All the Federalessay
They could have hadhim any day
They only let himslip away
Out of kindness Isuppose
The poets tell howPancho fell
And Lefty’s livin’in a cheap hotel
The desert’s quietand Cleveland’s cold
So the story endswe’re told
Pancho needs yourprayers it’s true
But save a few forLefty too
He only did what hehad to do
And now he’s growin’old
All the Federalessay
They could have hadhim any day
They only let himgo so long
Our of kindness Isuppose
A few grayFederales say
They could have hadhim any day
They only let himgo so long
Out of kindness Isuppose
