Lefty Shorts
Main Tag:
Description: Leave it to the poet laureate of Texas country to not only tell a story of betrayal, but to make the turncoat a sympathetic character. "Pancho and Lefty" is The Great Gatsby of country songs, conveying more about friendship, duplicity and guilt than most novels. In the song, the bandit Pancho Villa has been dispatched by the hangman's rope, but at least his suffering is over.
