Well Gather Round Children, A Story I Will Tell
About Pretty Boy Floyd The Outlaw, Oklahoma Knew Him Well

Was In The Town Of Shawnee On A Saturday Afternoon
His Wife Beside Him In A Wagon As Into Town They Rode

And Along Come A Deputy Sheriff In A Manner Rather Rude
Using Vulgar Words Of Language And His Wife She Overheard

And Pretty Boy Floyd Grabbed A Long Chain, And The Deputy Grabbed A Gun
And In The Fight That Followed, He Laid That Deputy Down

Then He Ran Through The Trees And Bushes And Lived A Life Of Shame
Every Crime In Oklahoma Was Added To His Name

He Ran Through Trees And Bushes On The Canadian River Shore
And Many A Starving Farmer Opened Up His Door

It Was In Oklahoma City, It Was On A Christmas Day
A Whole Carload Of Groceries And A Letter That Did Say

Well You Say That I'm An Outlaw, You Say That I'm A Thief
Well, Here's A Christmas Dinner For The Families On Relief

As Through This Life You Travel, You Meet Some Funny Men
Some Rob You With A Six-gun, Some With A Fountain Pen

As Through This Life You Ramble, As Through This Life You Roam
You'll Never See An Outlaw Take A Family From Their Home
