Текст песни Haggard Merle — Pancho and Lefty + аккорды для гитары
Вступление D Livin' on the road, my friend A Was gonna keep us free and clean G But now you wear your skin like iron D A And your breath's as hard as kerosene G You weren't your mama's only boy D G But her favorite one, it seems Bm G A She began to cry when you said good bye G Bm And sank into your dreams Verse 2: D Pancho was a bandit, boys A Rode a horse fast as polished steel G Wore his guns outside his pants D A For all the honest world to feel G Pancho met his match, you know D G On the deserts down in Mexico Bm G A No one heard his dyin' words G Bm But that's the way it goes Chorus: G And all the federales say D G They could have had him any day Bm G A They only let him slip away G Bm Out of kindness, I suppose Verse 3: D Now Lefty he can't sing the blues A All night long like he used to G The dust that Pancho bit down South D A It ended up in Lefty's mouth G The day they laid old Pancho low D G Lefty split for Ohio Bm G A Where he got the bread to go G Bm Well there ain't nobody 'knows Chorus Verse 4: D Now poets sing how Pancho fell A Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel G The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold D A And so the story ends, we're told G Pancho needs your prayers, it's true D G But save a few for Lefty, too Bm G A He only did what he had to do G Bm And now he's growin' old Chorus Final Chorus: D Yes a few old gray federales still say D G They could have had him any day Bm G A They only let him go so wrong G Bm Out of kindness, I suppose
