[D]
Livin' on the road, my friend, [A]
was gonna keep you free and clean
[G] And now you wear your skin like iron, [D] and your breath as hard [A] as kerosene
[G] You weren't your mama's only boy, but her favorite one it seemed
She began to cry when [A] you said goodbye,
[G] sank [Bm] into your dream
[C#] [D] Poncho was a bandit boy, [A] his horse was fast as polished steel
[G] He wore his gun outside his pants, [D]
for all the honest [A] world would feel
[G]
Poncho met his match, you know, [D] on the deserts down [G] in Mexico
Nobody heard his [F#m] dying [A] word, [G] but that's the way [B] it goes
[A] [G] All the Federalists say, [D] they could have had [G] him any day
[Bm] They only let [G] him slip [F#m] [A] away, [G] out of kindness I [Bm]
suppose
[D]
So if he can't sing the blues, [A]
all night long like he used to
[G] But dusty Poncho moved it down south,
[D] he ended up [A] and left his mound
[G] Today they laid poor Poncho low, [D] left his split [G] for Ohio
[Bm] Where he got [G] bread [F#m] to [A]
go, [G]
there ain't nobody [Bm] to know
[G] All the Federalists say, [D] they could have had [G] him any day

poets tell how Poncho fell, [A]
and left his living in a cheap hotel
[G] The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold, [D] and so the [A] story ends we're [G] told
Poncho need your prayers and [D] truth, save a few [G] for a lefty too
He only did what he [A] had to do, [G]
and now he's [Bm] grown old
[A] [G] All the Federalists say, [D] they could have had [G] him any [Bm] day
We only let him [G] go [F#m] so [A] long, [G] out of kindness [Bm] I suppose
