Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Pancho and Lefty (Townes Van Zandt)
Subject: RE: The Ballad of Pancho and Lefty
Maybe the song was simly Townes Van Zant's TexMex take on Dylan's Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts. Or vice a versa. Which was written first? Weren't they written about the same time...mid 70's? Heck, after hearing Dylan's song, I too wrote a song with an unexplanable story line...it was the cool thing to do as a songwriter at that time.
