[N] [D]
Living on the road, my friend, was [A] gonna keep you free and clean.
[G] Now you wear your skin like iron, and your [D] breath as hard as [A] kerosene.
[G] Weren't your mama's only boy, but her [D] favorite one it seemed.
[G]
[Bm] She began to cry when you said [A] goodbye,
[G] sang to your [Bm]
dream.
[D] Honsha 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 feared.
[G] Pancho met his match, you know, [D] on the deserts down in [G]
Mexico.
[B] Nobody heard his dying [A] word,
[G] but that's the way [B] it goes.
[G] All the feds are all the same, [D] they could have had [G] him any day.
They [Bm] only let him slip [A] away, [G] out of kindness I [Bm] suppose.
[D]
Lifty, he can't sing the blues,
[A] all night long like he used to.
[G] The dusty Pancho bit down south, [D] he ended up and [A] left his mound.
[G]
Today they laid poor Pancho low,
[D] left his split for [G] Ohio.
[B] Where he got bread to [A] go, there [G] ain't nobody [Bm] know.
[G] All the feds are all the same, [D] they could have had him [G] any day.
[Bm] We only let him slip [A] away, out [G] of kindness I [Bm] suppose.

[D] The poets tell how Pancho fell, [A] and left his living in a cheap hotel.
[G] The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold, [D] and so the story
[A] ends we're told.
[G] Pancho need your prayers and truth, [D] to save a few [G] who left it too.
[Bm] He only did what he had [A] to do,
[G] and now he's grown [Bm] old.
[G] All the feds are all the same, [D] they could have had him [G] any day.
[Bm] They only let him go so [A] long, out [G] of kindness I suppose.
[Bm]
[G] A few great federalists say, [D] we could have had him [G] any day.
[B] They only let him go so [A]
long, out [G] of kindness I suppose.
