Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Kennerley
[00:19.45] The foreman touched the cold steel lines
[00:24.12] The rail bed was frozen with ice
[00:28.54] In the distance an engine was keeping good time
[00:32.97] The steam whistle moaned just twice
[00:38.02] Down in the cut past the old Tressel bridge
[00:42.69] Twelve fine horses stood
[00:47.35] Masked men shivered in the cold on the ridge
[00:51.92] Not far from the Glendale woods
[00:59.14] The brass lamp shone from the swaying train
[01:03.77] When the driver saw the red light
[01:08.38] Her iron brakes sparked like silver rain
[01:12.94] And the metals screamed through the night
[01:17.90] The baggage man peered out to look for the fault
[01:22.46] When fear froze up his heart
[01:27.03] He was staring down the barrel of an army colt
[01:31.67] That threatened to tear him apart
[01:37.98] We will burn your train to cinders
[01:43.45] So throw the money on down
[01:47.81] Open up your damned express car
[01:52.68] And jump down to the ground
[01:57.02] But we won't touch that old woman and they claimed
[02:06.29] They ain't offered no reward
[02:11.29] For Frank and Jesse James
[02:16.42] Frank and Jesse James
[02:27.74] In long soldier's coats frayed with the years
[02:32.77] Quickly they scrambled aboard
[02:37.29] Men were the sweating and the women shed tears
[02:41.85] And a preacher prayed to the Lord
[02:46.38] When they opened the safe there was nothing for them
[02:50.92] So they strode down through the train
[02:55.79] What a miserable sight these desperate men
[03:00.31] Robbing old folks for their gold, watch, chains
[03:07.74] We will burn your train to cinders
[03:12.30] So throw the money on down
[03:16.67] Open up your damned express car
[03:21.56] And jump down to the ground
[03:26.05] But we won't touch that old woman and they claimed
[03:35.47] They ain't offered no reward
[03:40.47] For Frank and Jesse James
[03:45.49] Frank and Jesse James
[03:57.26] Now some say the devil had taken his soul
[04:01.96] Some say his spirit survived
[04:06.45] But we all know he was nothing but a missouri farm boy
[04:10.96] Just fighting to stay alive
[04:16.11] High above that railroad bed
[04:20.63] On a ridge where the pines grow tall
[04:25.36] If you listen to the wind, there's a ghost of a chance
[04:30.01] You can still hear old Jesse call
[04:36.52] We will burn your train to cinders
[04:41.79] So throw the money on down
[04:46.08] Open up your damned express car
[04:51.09] And jump down to the ground
[04:55.55] But we won't touch that old woman and they claimed
[05:04.89] They ain't offered no reward
[05:10.02] For Frank and Jesse James
[05:14.66] For Frank and Jesse James
