New Delhi Freight Train
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now some people are sayin' that I'm crazy
'Cause my real name is just Jesse James
Well, I left them half rocked, hard knocked in Black Rock County
Just to ride on that New Delhi train.
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And left my love behind, left my love behind.
I'm just a country boy without angels
I'm just a country boy without gold
And I've been to Silver City below the rainbow
Where they say I pillaged and I killed and I stole.
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And left my life behind, left my life behind.
Well, they say I killed a man named Smiley Dearden
Say I killed him with one of my guns
And I know that I did what I had not ought to
But I went on the run from what I'd done
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And left my love behind, left my love behind.
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And left my life behind, left my life behind.
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And left my love behind, left my love behind.
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And left my life behind, left my life behind...
