poncho:
- bandit boy
- fast horse
- had a CCP
- evaded the law dogs
- died in old mexico
lefty:
- singer/songwriter
- worn out by either age or the life he was living
- left for cleveland the day of poncho's funeral, although he was relatively poor
- now resides in cheap hotels
- did what he had to do
do you think what lefty had to do was shoot down pancho in cold blood to collect the reward money?
GO!!!

Were they brothers? Pancho being the favorite? I don't think Lefty killed him, but maybe sold him out.

Always thought it was pretty obvious that Lefty turned him in to the Federalies (sp?). He didn't shoot Pancho just gave up his whereabouts so the Law shot him down. Collected the ransom and moved do Cleveland where he drank himself to death out of guilt. Always been the way I took it but I could be wrong, I guess.

Lefty was a snitch.

I always like the very beginning of this song too. Pretty much autobiographical for Townes. And the whole irony of going on the road to clean up and ending up with breath that smells like kerosene is the kind of curve ball that makes his lyrics so great. Another thing about this song is everyone thinks it's about Pancho when really is about Lefty and his decision.
quote:
Living on the road my friend,
Is gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear your skin like iron,
Your breath as hard as kerosene.

Lefty turned him in for the bounty. Lefty didn't have the balls to kill anyone.

I seriously doubt Pancho was hung. He was a damn Mexican.
