Pretty Little One – melodie bluegrass interpretată de Steve Martin împreună cu Edie Brickell și formația Steep Canyon Rangers.
Steep Canyon Rangers s-a format în anul 2000 în timp ce membrii erau studenți University of North Carolina în Chapel Hill. În 2009, Steve Martin i-a întrebat dacă ar putea cânta împreună cu el la un concert de binefacere pentru Biblioteca Publică din Los Angeles unde el urmă să cânte la banjo și să spună câteva glume.
Colaborarea lor a continuat cu turnee în America, chiar și în Anglia, iar în 2010 au scos un album împreună Rare Bird Alert, cu melodii compuse în principal de Steve Martin, cu Paul McCartney și Dixie Chicks având părți vocale.
Melodia Pretty Little One a apărut pe albumul Live din 2014.

Versuri:
Saw a girl at a picture show
Walked right up and said hello
Seemed to me like a girl in need
I’m a guy who’s built for speed
You and me could have some fun
You pretty little one
Took her riding around the town
Ain’t no woman ever shut me down
Ever seen a truck like this?
How about a little kiss?
You pretty little one
Pretty little one
Pretty little one
Took her out about a month or so
She’s my gal, I told her so
She resisted for a bit
Maybe that’s the way of it
You pretty little one
Couple times she tried to leave
Told her that don’t work for me
Her daddy tried to intervene
Folks, I’m just a mean machine
I can handle dumb old Pops
What’s he done but shovel rocks?
I said, baby, that’s enough
I might’ve got a little rough
On the pretty little one
Pretty little one
Pretty little one
Then she called me late one night
Said it’s over, let’s not fight
I said, sure but one more talk
Maybe just a little walk
Aound the block a nice goodbye
You’re so lovely honey-pie
I went over, picked her up
Got her in my pickup truck
Driving slow around the town
Then I put the pedal down
Took her down a gravel road
Stopped the truck where no one goes
This is where the job gets done
On the pretty little one
Pretty little one
Pretty little one
Blackest night that I had seen
In the darkness I felt mean
From my boot I pulled a knife
Said, I’m gonna take your life
I was calm as I can get
So I lit a cigarette
In the flicker I could see
She had a pistol trained on me
That pretty little one
Edie Brickell:
I said, mister I’m no fool
My daddy raised me country cool
I think my papa knows enough
Guys like you who think they’re tough
He read you easy as ABC
That’s when he gave this gun to me
And ever since your truck arrived
My hand’s been on this .45
Steve Martin:
I went at her with my knife
She pulled the trigger, shot me twice
In the heart and in the head
Took half a breath, slumped over dead
She pumped another for good luck
Right between my buttercups
That pretty little one
Pretty little one
Pretty little one
In the grave I’m dead and gone
The little gal, she wrote this song
She came over in due course
Sang to me without remorse
Then she whispered to the ground
Edie Brickell:
I’ll let you have another round
My name is Lucy Allencott
You should know that I was not
Your pretty little one
