Levon Helm — A Train Robbery

 Capo 3 
 
 G                       C          G
The foreman touched the cold steel lines 
 G                D           G
The rail bed was frozen with ice 
 G                             C            G
In the distance an engine was keepin' good time 
 G                 D           G
The steam whistle moaned just twice 
 C                        G
Down in the cut past the old tressel bridge 
 G                  D
Twelve fine horses stood 
 G                          C           G
Masked men shivered in the cold on the ridge 
 G                D        G
Not far from the Glendale woods 
 
The brass lamp shone from the swayin' train 
When the driver saw the red light 
Her iron brakes sparked like silver rain 
And the metals screamed through the night 
The baggage man peered out to look for the fault 
When fear froze up his heart 
He was starin' down the barrel of an army colt 
That threatened to tear him apart 
 
Chorus:
 G                                     F         C        G
We will burn your train to cinders so throw the money on down 
 G                                   F         C      G
Open up your damned express car and jump down to the ground 
 G                                         F            C     G
But we won't touch that old Pullman she's Southern and they claimed 
 G                                F         C     G
They ain't offered no reward for Frank and Jesse James 
 F         C     G
Frank and Jesse James 
 
In long soldiers coats frayed with years 
Quickly they scrambled aboard 
The men was a-sweatin' and the women Shed tears 
And a preacher prayed to the lord 
When they opened the safe there was nothing for them 
So they strolled down through the train 
What a miserable sight, these desperate men 
Robbin' old folks for their gold watch chains 
 
Chorus
 
Now some say the devil had taken his soul 
Some say his spirit survived 
But we all know he was nothin' but a Missouri farm boy 
Just fightin' to stay alive 
High above that railroad bed 
On a ridge where the pines grow tall 
If you listen to the wind there's a ghost of a chance 
You can still hear ole Jesse call 
 
Chorus
