Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Pancho and Lefty (Townes Van Zandt)
Subject: RE: The Ballad of Pancho and Lefty
Yah, thanks from me as well for refreshing this thread. It's another "commercial" song that has haunted me for years, and which I never had seen all the words.
I enjoyed much of the discussion above but I have to acknowledge that Amos has nailed the interpretation, and may even be "Lefty" or the son of "Lefty." I mean, why is he so sure he's right?
