Dylan Duets: Pancho and Lefty (Willie Nelson & Bob Dylan)

 Continuing our feature of duets during Bob Dylan's birthday month

Bob Dylan & Willie Nelson  perform "Pancho And Lefty" (recorded April 28,1993 for Willie Nelson's birthday television special, The Big Six-0). The song, written by country music artist Townes Van Zandt, tells the story of a Mexican bandit named Pancho and a more enigmatic character, Lefty. The lyrics tell of Pancho's death, implying that he was betrayed by his associate Lefty who was paid off by the Mexican federales.
