Lyrics for Song: New Delhi Freight Train
Lyrics for Album: Best Of The Sugar Hill Years [2007]
Some people think that I must be crazy,
But my real name is just Jesse James.
An' I left them half-crocked, hard-knocks of Black Rock County,
Just to ride on that New Delhi train.
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train,
Ridin' down that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train,
Yeah, I left my love behind.
Yeah, I left my love behind.
An' I'm just a country boy without angels.
Yeah, just a country boy without gold.
An' I been to Silver City's load of rainbows,
Where I pillaged and I killed and I stole.
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train,
Ridin' down that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train,
Yeah, I left my life behind.
Yeah, I left my life behind.
Then I killed me a man named smilin' Jordan,
Yeah, I killed him with one of my guns.
And I knew that I had did what I had not ought to,
But I welcomed the run from what I'd done.
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train,
Ridin' down that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train,
Yeah, I left my guns behind.
Yeah, I left my guns behind.
Instrumental break.
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train,
Ridin' down that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train,
Yeah, I left my guns behind.
Yeah, I left my guns behind.
Instrumental fade out.
