The foreman touched the cold steel lines[00:00:10]
The rail bed was frozen with ice[00:00:15]
In the distance an engine was keeping good time[00:00:20]
The steam whistle moaned just twice[00:00:25]
Down in the cut past the old Tressel bridge[00:00:30]
Twelve fine horses stood[00:00:35]
Masked men shivered in the cold on the ridge[00:00:39]
Not far from the Glendale woods[00:00:44]
The brass lamp shone from the swaying train[00:00:52]
When the driver saw the red light[00:00:56]
Her iron brakes sparked like silver rain[00:01:02]
And the metals screamed through the night[00:01:06]
The baggage man peered out to look for the fault[00:01:11]
When fear froze up his heart[00:01:16]
He was staring down the barrel of an army colt[00:01:21]
That threatened to tear him apart[00:01:25]
We will burn your train to cinders[00:01:32]
So throw the money on down[00:01:38]
Open up your damned express car[00:01:42]
And jump down to the ground[00:01:47]
But we won&39t touch that old womanand they claimed[00:01:51]
They ain&39t offered no reward[00:02:01]
For Frank and Jesse James[00:02:06]
Frank and Jesse James[00:02:11]
In long soldier&39s coats frayed with the years[00:02:18]
Quickly they scrambled aboard[00:02:24]
Men were the sweatin&39 and the women shed tears[00:02:28]
And a preacher prayed to the Lord[00:02:33]
When they opened the safe there was nothing for them[00:02:38]
So they strode down through the train[00:02:43]
What a miserable sight these desperate men[00:02:48]
Robbin&39 old folks for their gold watch chains[00:02:52]
We will burn your train to cinders[00:02:59]
So throw the money on down[00:03:05]
Open up your damned express car[00:03:09]
And jump down to the ground[00:03:14]
But we won&39t touch that old womanand they claimed[00:03:19]
They ain&39t offered no reward[00:03:28]
For Frank and Jesse James[00:03:33]
Frank and Jesse James[00:03:38]
Now some say the devil had taken his soul[00:03:45]
Some say his spirit survived[00:03:51]
But we all know he was nothin&39 but a Missouri farm boy[00:03:55]
Just fighting to stay alive[00:04:00]
High above that railroad bed[00:04:05]
On a ridge where the pines grow tall[00:04:10]
If you listen to the wind there&39s a ghost of a chance[00:04:14]
You can still hear old Jesse call[00:04:19]
We will burn your train to cinders[00:04:26]
So throw the money on down[00:04:31]
Open up your damned express car[00:04:36]
And jump down to the ground[00:04:41]
But we won&39t touch that old womanand they claimed[00:04:45]
They ain&39t offered no reward[00:04:55]
For Frank and Jesse James[00:05:00]
For Frank and Jesse James[00:05:05]
