_ _ _ _ Livin' on the road, my friend, _ [A] was gonna keep you free and clean.
_ _ _ [G] Now you [D] wear your skin like [G] iron, and [D] your breath as hard as [A] kerosene. _ _ _ _
[G] You weren't your mama's only boy, but her favorite [D] one it seems.
_ _ [G] _
_ She began to [Bm] cry [Em] when you said goodbye, _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ second to your [Bm] dreams. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Poncho was a bandit boy, _ [A] his horse was fast as pony steel.
_ _ _ [G] He wore his gun outside his pen _ for [D] all the honest world [A] to feel. _ _ _

any day.
_ [Bm] We only let him slip away, [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] out of kindness I had to [Bm] spoon. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Lefty, he can't sang the blues all night [A] long like he used to.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] The dust that [D] Poncho bid [G] down south, _ _ _ [D]
ended [A] up and left his mouth. _ _
[G] The day they [D] laid poor [G] Poncho low, _
_ _ [D] Lefty split for [G] Ohio.
_ _ _ [B] _ Where he got the [G] bread to go, _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] there ain't nobody [Bm] to know. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ On the 30th, I would say, _ _ [D] _ coulda had him [G] any day.

[G] And Poncho needs your _ prayers, it's true, [D] _ save a few for [G] Lefty too.
_ [Em] He only did what he had to [A] do, _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] and now [D] he's growing [Bm] _ old. _ _ _ _ _
