I'm happy to defend the Lefty sold out, didn't shoot Pancho theory.  In the line, "the day they laid poor Pancho low, Lefty split for Ohio," I take "they" to be the federales and "laid . . . low" as killed.  It's possible you could read the latter to be his burial, but it doesn't make sense with the chorus.

Bablyon 5 seems to me the definition of a mediocre show that doesn't need revisiting: for example, the first reason given that the good parts are "revelatory" is that the early stuff is crap.  That said, I am liking this thread for the old-school AV Club nerd vibe.  Can we get 2500 words on how Worff influenced Grunt?
