Living on the road my friend was gonna keep you free and clean
Now you were your skin like iron and your breath's as hard as kerosene
You weren't your mama's only boy but her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye and sank into your dreams
Poncho was a bandit boys his horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants for all the honest world to feel
Poncho met his match you know on the deserts down in Mexico
Nobody heard his dyin' words but that's the story goes
All the Federals say could've had him any day
We only let him slip away out of kindness I suppose
Lefty he can't sing the blues all night long like he used to
The dust that Poncho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth
Day they laid poor Poncho low Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go there ain't nobody knows
All the Federals say...
[ guitar ]
The poets tell how Poncho fell and Lefty's living in a cheap hotel
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold and so the story ends we're told
Poncho needs your prayers it's true but save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do and now he's growing old
All the Federals say...
A few Federals say could've had him any day
We only let him go so long out of kindness I suppose
Merle Ronald Haggard (1937-2016) was one of the most influential singer-songwriters in American country music. Born in Bakersfield, California, Haggard began his musical career in the 1950s, influenced by artists like Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell. In 1966, with his album "Sing Me Back Home", he achieved national success, solidifying his traditional country style with a touch of rockabilly and folk. Haggard was known for his introspective and realistic songs that addressed themes such as rural life, lost love, social justice, and the struggle against poverty. Among his most famous songs are "Okie from Muskogee", "Mama Tried", "The Fightin' Side of Me" and "I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink". He won numerous awards, including three Grammy Awards, and sold over 38 million records worldwide.
