Do you remember the great train robbery? | |
How it all happened, back in '63 | |
When Johnny Rainbow took his band of brave men | |
Went down to the crossing to meet that train | |
When they were sure the time was right | |
Fourteen men to share seven million | |
Bound to steal, steal it all and run | |
Johnny wanted to keep it peaceful | |
But Wilson cried and though it might have died | |
You know they had to turn and run | |
The life of a thief | |
Is all bits and pieces | |
It's out on the street | |
And all that it teaches | |
The look in the wind | |
And taking a gamble | |
The wages of sin | |
Are too hot to handle | |
(Look him in the eye) | |
He takes what he finds | |
(Look him in the eye) | |
Yeah, he's marking time | |
(Look him in the eye) | |
His life's on the line | |
No one knows where the Rainbow is hiding | |
He's been sure not to tip his hand | |
He is still living on the fruits of that bloody day | |
They caught some of his friends, they got some of his money | |
But they never could catch that man | |
The affairs of that night will live forever | |
As the law was breeched in the heart of a thief | |
Many legends still declare that tragic day | |
How the iron horse fell, oh I know so well | |
I was a party to all that grief |
