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