Back when I was ten Jim was my best friend |
|
We'd go down to the station and watched the trains come in |
|
The long black train the long black train |
|
Some day I told my friend we'll ride that train and then |
|
We'll make a fortune for ourselves and we'll ride it home again |
|
The long black train the long black train |
|
As we grew older Jim grew wilder than the wind |
|
He robbed the bank in our hometown and they sent me after him |
|
On the long black train the long black train |
|
And so I cut my friend twelve men convicted him |
|
Ninety nine years is what he got I'll bet it seems like a hundred to Jim |
|
He'll miss the long black train the long black train |
