Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Pancho and Lefty (Townes Van Zandt)
Subject: RE: The Ballad of Pancho and Lefty
Amos claims that Spaw would know
You don't need much bread to reach Ohio;
A slice or two at the most,
Any more and you'd end up toast!
But wiser heads like ol' Rapaire's,
Have to shake in deep despair –
The notion would appear half-baked,
But that's the way it goes.

Yet a few old bro will have their say,
Try to shut 'em up an' you'll be blown away;
You don't learn such wisdom any day,
It's all a public service, I suppose.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
