[D]
Living on the road, my friend, [A] is gonna keep you free and clean.
[G]
Now you wear your skin like iron, [D]
your breath as [A] hard as kerosene.
[G]
You're working by my solely, boy, [D] for the favorite one of [G] three.
You [Bm]
began to cry [G] when you [D] [A] said goodbye,
[Em] [G] and sank into [Bm] your dream.
[D]
Pancho was a bandit boy, [A]
his horse was fast as polished steel.
[G]
He'd lower his gun outside his [D] pants for all the honest [A] world to feed.
[G]
Pancho met his match, you know, [D] on the deserts, town, [G] and Mexico.
[Bm]
Nobody heard [G] his [D] dying [A] word,
[G] that's the [Bm] way it goes.
[A] [G]
All the veteranists say [D]
they could have had [G] him any day.
[Bm]
They only let him [D] slip [A] away at [G] a kindness I [Bm] suppose.
[D]
Lefty, he can't sing the blues [A]
all night long like he used [G] to.
The gusset Pancho bent down south, [D]
ended up in [A] Lefty's mouth.
[G]
The deadly poor Pancho, Lord, [D]
Lefty split [G] for Ohio, [Bm]
where he got [G] the bread [D] [A] to go.
[G] There ain't [Bm] nobody to know.

[D] The poets tell how Pancho fell, [A] now Lefty's living in a cheap hotel.
[G] The desert's quiet and Cleveland's [D] cold, and so the [A] story ends we're told.
[G]
Lord, Pancho needs your prayers, it's true, [D]
but save a few [G] for Lefty too.
[Bm]
He only [G] did what [D] he had [A] to do, [G] and now he's [Bm] growing old.

All the veteranists say [D] they could have had [G] him any day.
