Pretty Boy Floyd - Woody Guthrie - Vocal Cover

Another not very Christmasy tune but one which mentions Christmas day in the last verse, this my jaunty take on Woddy Guthrie's wonderful Pretty Boy Floyd, a Robin-Hood-esque story of an outlaw taking from the rich and giving to the poor. To emphasize Floyd's on the moral high ground, Guthrie even starts the song with Pretty Boy getting into a fight because an uncouth deputy sheriff uses 'vulgar words of language' in earshot of Floyd's wife, and the gentlemanly outlaw-to-be intervenes. It is so long since I heard the original I think I have rather forgotten how it sounds... I have been playing it my way for over four decades ! It contains one of Guthrie's most famous lines : "As through this world I've wandered I've seen lots of funny men, some will rob you with a six gun, some with a fountain pen". If you are unfamiliar with Guthrie go and educate yourself by listening to some. Which reminds me, WIlco collaborated with Billy Bragg to fill 3 cds setting unused Guthrie lyrics to music. Despite them falling out during the exercise, the resulting records are a true wonder .... #woodyguthrie #bobdylan #fingerstyle #acousticcover #wilco #guitartok
