The Train Robber
R. DAWSON & S. FINK
I’m gonna rob a freight train
When it comes round the bend
Time to put my boots on
Get to work again
I’ll saddle up old Blondie
And we’ll ride outta town
She’s handsome, fast and strong
Fastest horse around
She loves to raise the dust up
And race me on my way
It’s just like in the movies
What more can I say
Oh, oh, Angeline
Left Carolina for Abilene
Oh, oh, Angeline
Left Carolina for Abilene
It was New Year’s Eve 1910
We were feeling good
From my cloud of powder
Guess they understood
You took a seat, I tipped my hat
Was a barker on the box
We tried to tell them bankers
You can’t out sly a fox
Remember Elly del Sarto
Or how the story goes
I left them by the tracks
We reap what we sow
Oh, oh, Angeline
Left Carolina for Abilene
Oh, oh, Angeline
Left Carolina for Abilene
