F
You weren't your mama's only boy
C F
But her favorite one, it seems
Am F C G
She began to cry when you said goodbye

And sank into your dreams
Verse 2:
C
Pancho was a bandit, boys

Rode a horse fast as polished steel

Wore his guns outside his pants
C G
For all the honest world to feel

Pancho met his match, you know
C F
On the deserts down in Mexico
Am F C G
No one heard his dyin' words
F Am
But that's the way it goes
Chorus:
F
All the federales say
C F
They could have had him any day
Am F C G
They only let him slip a-way
F Am
Out of kindness, I suppose
Verse 3:
C
Lefty he can't sing the blues
G
All night long like he used to
F
The dust that Pancho bit down South
C G
It ended up in Lefty's mouth

The day they laid old Pancho low
C G
Lefty split for Ohio
Am F C G
Where he got the bread to go
F Am
Well there ain't nobody knows

All the federales say

They could have had him any day
Am F C G
They only let him slip a-way

Poets tell how Pancho fell
G
Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
F
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
C G
And so the story ends, we're told

Pancho needs your prayers, it's true
C G
But save a few for Lefty, too
Am F C G
He only did what he had to do
F Am
And now he's growin' old

All the federales say
C F
They could have had him any day
Am F C G
They only let him slip a-way

Out of kindness, I suppose

Yes a few old gray federales still say
C F
They could have had him any day
Am F C G
They only let him go so wrong
F Am
Out of kindness, I suppose Last updated:
