Lefty in this song was my grandfather. My grandfather and his family were captured by Villa and they hanged his mother and father and sister in front of him. Pancho was about to hang my grandfather when Pancho's daughter came running out begging him to not hang Lefty. So he did not but made him ride with him for several years. After leaving the group my grandfather went to Bridgeport, Ohio where he met his future bride.
