Pancho and Lefty (Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard)
Previously Titled 'Poncho & Lefty'
Livin' on the road my friend, is gonna keep you free and clean
And now you wear your skin like iron, and your breath is hard as kerosene
Weren't you mamma's only boy, but her favourite one it seems
She began to cry when you said, good-bye, and sank to your dream
Pancho was a bandit boy, his horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants, for all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match, you know, on the deserts down in Mexico
Nobody heard his dyin' words, but that's the way it goes
All the Federales, they say
They could have had him any day
They only let him slip away
Out of kindness I suppose
Lefty he can't sing the blues, all night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down south, ended up in Lefty's mouth
The day they lay poor Pancho low, Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go, there ain't nobody knows
All the Federales they say
We could have had him any day
We only let him slip away
Out of kindness I suppose (instrumental)
The poets tell how Pancho fell, and Lefty's livin' in cheap hotels
The desert's quiet, and Cleveland's cold, and so the story ends we're told
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true, but save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do, and now he's growin' old
All the Federales, they say
We could have had him any day
They only let him go so long
Out of kindness I suppose
A few grey Federales, they say
We could have had him any day
We only let him go so long
Out of kindness I suppose

This Townes Van Zandt's song recorded by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, was also recorded by George Strait. In fact the two version are so alike, it sounds to me like George used the same backing track! Anyway, I hope you like this 'Willie & Merle' classic . .Leave a Like if you do! Thanks . .🎵♥🎧
