_ [C] _ _ [F] Come _ gather round me children _ [Bb] A story I will tell
[C] About pretty boy Floyd Mountlaw [G] Oklahoma knew him well
Was in the town of Shawnee _ [Bb] On a Saturday [F] afternoon
His [C] wife beside him in the wagon [G] As in the town they rode
[Bb] A deputy sheriff's _ [F] stem [Bb] In a manner rather rude
He used [C] vulgar words of language [G] And his wife she _ overheard
Well pretty boy grabbed _ chain [Bb] And the deputy grabbed a gun
And in [C] the fight that followed He laid that [G] deputy down
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ Then he took to the _ trees and the river To [Bb] live a life of shame
Every [C] crime in Oklahoma [G] Was added to his name
Yes he took to the trees and the river [Bb] On the Canadian river shore
And [C] the outlaw found a welcome [G] At many a farmer's door
Yes there's many a starving farmer The same story [Bb] told
How the outlaw [Cm] paid their mortgage [G] And saved their little home
Others tell [Bb] about the [F] stranger _ [Bb] Who came to beg a meal
And [C] underneath his napkin Left a thousand [F] dollar _ bill
_ _ Was in Oklahoma _ City _ [Bb] Was on a Christmas day
Came a whole [C] carload of groceries And a [G] letter that did [F] say
When you say that _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] [G] I'm a thief Here's a [C] Christmas dinner
For the [F] families on relief _ _ _
Well it's through this world _ _ _ [Bb] I've seen lots of funny men
Some [C] rob you with a six-gun [F] Some with a fountain pen
Yes through this world you travel _ [Bb] As through this world you roam
You'll never [C] see an outlaw Drive a [F] family from their home _ _ _ _ _
