Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Pancho and Lefty (Townes Van Zandt)
Subject: RE: The Ballad of Pancho and Lefty
Amos, I always felt that Lefty ambushed Pancho for reward money, or robbed the robber, so to speak{where he got the bread to go, ain't nobody knows}, and it was Lefty the Federales let go out of kindness, not Pancho.At least that's how I feel when I sing this wonderfull song, which I learned from listening to the goddess herself,Emmey Lou.
