won't keep you free and clean

Now you wear your skin like iron and

your breath's as hard as kerosene
Now you wear your skin like iron and

your breath's as hard as kerosene
Weren't your mama's only boy
but her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said

goodbye and sank into your dreams
Poncho 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
He wore his gun outside his pants

for all the honest world to feel
Poncho met his match you know

on the deserts down in Mexico

Nobody heard his dyin' words

ah but that's the way it goes
All the Federales say
they could've had him any day

They only let him slip away

out of kindness I suppose
all night long like he used to
The dust that Poncho bit down south

ended up in Lefty's mouth
Day they laid poor Poncho low
Lefty split for Ohio

Where he got the bread to go

there ain't nobody knows
All the Federales say they

could've had him any day

They only let him slip away

out of kindness I suppose
out of kindness I suppose
INSTRUMENTAL
He only did what he had to do

and now he's growing old
and now he's growing old
All the Federales say

could've had him any day

They only let him go so long

out of kindness I suppose
could've had him any day

They only let him go so long

out of kindness I suppose
out of kindness I suppose
Even Federales say

could've had him any day

They only let him go so long

out of kindness I suppose
