GAnd along come a deputy sheriff in a Cmanner rather rGude
Using Dvulgar words of Glanguage and his Cwife she overGheard
GAnd Pretty Boy grabbed a long chain,
And the Cdeputy grabbed a Ggun
And Din the fight that fGollowed, he Claid that deputy Gdown

banjo break

GThen he ran through the trees and bushes
And Clived a life of Gshame
Every Dcrime in OklaGhoma was Cadded to his Gname
GHe ran through trees and bushes on the CCanadian River Gshore
And Dmany a starving Gfarmer oCpened up his Gdoor

fiddle break

GIt was in Oklahoma City, It was Con a Christmas GDay
A Dwhole carload of gGroceries and a Cletter that did Gsay
GWell you say that I'm an outlaw, you Csay that I'm a Gthief
Well, Dhere's a Christmas Gdinner for the Cfamilies on Grelief

mandolin break

GAs through this life you travel, you Cmeet some funny Gmen
Some Drob you with a Gsix-gun, some Cwith a fountain Gpen
GAs through this life you ramble, as Cthrough this life you Groam
You'll Dnever see an Goutlaw take a Cfamily from their Ghome
