*PANCHO AND LEFTY*
Living on the road, my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear your skin like iron
Your breath's as hard as kerosene
You weren't your momma's only boy
But her favorite one, it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And sank into your dreams

Pancho was a bandit, boys
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
In the deserts down in Mexico
And nobody heard his dying words
Oh, that's the way it goes

All the federales say
They could have had him any day
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 laid poor Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go
There ain't nobody knows

All the federales say
Could have had him any day
We only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose

The poets tell how Pancho fell
Lefty's living in a cheap hotel
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 growing old.

All the federales say
Could have had him any day
We only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose

A few gray federales say
Could have had him any day
We only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose.

*PANČO I LEFTI*
Živim na putu, moj prijatelju
Hteo sam da budeš slobodan i čist
Sada nosiš kožu kao gvožđe
Dah ti je tvrd kao kerozin
Nisi bio jedini sin svoje mame
Ali izgleda njen omiljeni
Počela je da plače kada si rekao zbogom
I utonuo u tvoje snove

Pančo je bio razbojnik, momci
Njegov konj je bio brz kao uglačani čelik
Nosio je pištolj izvan pantalona
Da osjeti sav pošten svijet
Pančo je upoznao svog saputnika, znate,
U pustinjama dole u Meksiku
I niko nije čuo njegove samrtne reči
Oh, tako to ide

Svi federalci kažu
Mogli smo ga uhvatiti svakog dana
Samo ga pustili neka izmakne
Iz ljubaznosti, pretpostavljam

Lefti, ne zna da peva bluz
Celu noć kao nekada
Prašina koju je Pančo grizao na jugu
Završio u Leftijevim ustima
Onog dana kada su spustili jadnog Panča
Lefti pobeže za Ohajo
A gde je nabavio hleb
Niko to ne zna

Svi federalci kažu
Mogli smo ga uloviti svakog dana
Samo smo ga pustili da izmakne
Iz ljubaznosti, pretpostavljam

Pesnici pričaju kako je Pančo pao
A Lefti živi u jeftinom hotelu
Pustinja je tiha, a Klivlend hladan
I tako se priča završava, rečeno nam je
Pančo treba vaše molitve, istina je
Ali sačuvajte nekoliko i za Leftija
Uradio je samo ono što je morao
A sada je ostareo.

Svi federalci kažu
Mogli smo ga uloviti svakog dana
Samo smo ga pustili da pobegne
Iz ljubaznosti, pretpostavljam

Nekoliko sivih federalaca kaže
Mogli smo ga uhvatiti svakog dana
Pustili smo ga samo za toliko dugo
Iz ljubaznosti, pretpostavljam.
