Lyr Req: Pretty Boy Floyd (not Woody Guthrie)

Subject: Woody Guthrie...NOT....!!!!
From:

We have a library patron seeking lyrics to an old song.....Pretty Boy Floyd....not the Woody Guthrie version, however. Does this ring any bells? Some sketchy lyrics....

Now boys, a vest of steel I'm wearing, made out of little steel wires.
To keep all those bullets away from my heart, because my heart is precious to me.
I have a sweet wife and a baby, who is waiting for me back home.
I want to go back to see them, but the cops won't leave me alone.

Any help will be great!!! Burnley Library Cottonwood Falls, KS mailto:[e-mail]
