A Train Robbery - Levon Helm[00:00:00]
The foreman touched the cold steel lines[00:00:19]
The rail bed was frozen with ice[00:00:23]
In the distance an engine was keeping good time[00:00:28]
The steam whistle moaned just twice[00:00:32]
Down in the cut past the old Tressel bridge[00:00:38]
Twelve fine horses stood[00:00:42]
Masked men shivered in the cold on the ridge[00:00:47]
Not far from the Glendale woods[00:00:51]
The brass lamp shone from the swaying train[00:00:59]
When the driver saw the red light[00:01:03]
Her iron brakes sparked like silver rain[00:01:08]
And the metals screamed through the night[00:01:12]
The baggage man peered out to look for the fault[00:01:17]
When fear froze up his heart[00:01:22]
He was staring down the barrel of an army colt[00:01:26]
That threatened to tear him apart[00:01:31]
We will burn your train to cinders[00:01:37]
So throw the money on down[00:01:43]
Open up your d**ned express car[00:01:47]
And jump down to the ground[00:01:52]
But we won't touch that old womanand they claimed[00:01:56]
They ain't offered no reward[00:02:06]
For frank and Jesse James[00:02:11]
Frank and Jesse James[00:02:16]
In long soldier's coats frayed with the years[00:02:27]
Quickly they scrambled aboard[00:02:32]
Men were the sweatin' and the women shed tears[00:02:37]
And a preacher prayed to the Lord[00:02:41]
When they opened the safe there was nothing for them[00:02:46]
So they strode down through the train[00:02:50]
What a miserable sight these desperate men[00:02:55]
Robbin' old folks for their gold watch chains[00:03:00]
We will burn your train to cinders[00:03:06]
So throw the money on down[00:03:12]
Open up your d**ned express car[00:03:16]
And jump down to the ground[00:03:21]
But we won't touch that old woman she[00:03:25]
Sha day and claimed[00:03:31]
They ain't offered no reward[00:03:35]
For frank and Jesse James[00:03:40]
Frank and Jesse James[00:03:45]
Now some say the devil had taken his soul[00:03:57]
Some say his spirit survived[00:04:01]
But we all know he was nothin' but a Missouri farm boy[00:04:06]
Just fighting to stay alive[00:04:10]
High above that railroad bed[00:04:16]
On a ridge where the pines grow tall[00:04:20]
If you listen to the wind there's a ghost of a chance[00:04:25]
You can still hear old Jesse call[00:04:29]
We will burn your train to cinders[00:04:36]
So throw the money on down[00:04:41]
Open up your d**ned express car[00:04:46]
And jump down to the ground[00:04:50]
But we won't touch that old woman[00:04:55]
She sha day and claimed[00:05:00]
They ain't offered no reward[00:05:04]
For frank and Jesse James[00:05:09]
For frank and Jesse James[00:05:14]
Hmm[00:05:25]
