With [C#] vulgar words of anger and his wife she [F#] _ overheard
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Pretty boy grabbed a log chain [B] and the deputy grabbed [F#] his gun
[B] In the fight [F#] that followed [C#] he laid that [F#] deputy down
_ _ Then he took to the _ trees _ and timber to live a life of shame
_ [B] Every crime in [F#] Oklahoma was added to his _ name _ _
_ _ _ But a many a _ starving farmer [B] the same old story [F#] told
How [C#] the outlaw paid their mortgage and saved their little [F#]
