among the angel's gold
feeded by a pleasant hand

creeping on the ground
'cause bonds of faith may always sever
but my gun is still around
now I just found a game
like a mortal upper story
play the final showdown scene
'til you are gone to glory
both friends and foes agree
accused of breaking laws
there is no money in this secret box
the fodder to my purse

maybe I am right
maybe I'm not strong enough
maybe I will die
like a tawny snake
in a torrid clime
the twilight

maybe I disclaim my honour
maybe I will jumping down the running train -
jumping down the running train
- jumping down the running train
the ballade of Jesse James
there was a little lady
she was twined in golden hair

'cause dollars doesn't smell
she felt down on her knees
I cant forget the sound
'cause bonds of faith may always sever
but my gun is still around
from the deepground of the ocean
to the top of mountains high
where love threw up the sponge

an insidious bullet from behind
the coffin let me learn
there's no money in this secret box
just fodder to the worms
maybe...
