It looks live Woody Guthrie wrote it though.
At the time I lived down on Hoover and Olympic.
Pretty Boy Floyd
Song by Woody Guthrie
Lyrics
If you'll gather 'round me, children,
A story I will tell
'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd, an outlaw,
Oklahoma knew him well.
It was in the town of Shawnee,
A Saturday afternoon,
His wife beside him in his wagon
As into town they rode.
There a deputy sheriff approached him
In a manner rather rude,
Vulgar words of anger,
An' his wife she overheard.
Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain,
And the deputy grabbed his gun;
In the fight that followed
He laid that deputy down.
Then he took to the trees and timber
To live a life of shame;
Every crime in Oklahoma
Was added to his name.
But a many a starving farmer
The same old story told
How the outlaw paid their mortgage
And saved their little homes.
Others tell you 'bout a stranger
That come to beg a meal,
Underneath his napkin
Left a thousand dollar bill.
It was in Oklahoma City,
It was on a Christmas Day,
There was a whole car load of groceries
Come with a note to say:
Well, you say that I'm an outlaw,
You say that I'm a thief.
Here's a Christmas dinner
For the families on relief.
Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.
And as through your life you travel,
Yes, as through your life you roam,
You won't never see an outlaw
Drive a family from their home.
(don't know 'out that double negative in the 2nd to last line lol)

Cross,
Thanks for the 'research', I have always heard these words in Bobby's song, and this is just a guess! -
the words are in quotation-marks? -
it really brings dennis and myself such a special feeling, knowing that we have such intimate
memorable times in our 'old-lives' in a small part of our lives...
'Thou shalt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusts in YOU.'
