The Train Robbers Woman
-If only she knew I did it for her, the farm the buggy and the dress and the fur. The home and the land the sweat on her hand. I'd do it all again though I be dammed.
I can't make tails while rotten in jail but she looked at me strage as though I had failed. Her tears staind the letters that I'd got in the mail
If just she knew I did it for him too. Our little boy with his eye's colored blue, for his school and his future to do what's to do, yet not to see him is the worst of it too.
But then there was the plan and the gun in my hand
we doged em' three months took the money and ran
we rode thorw territories mountans, and sand.
If only she knew about the rides and the glee the lathered up horses the fun and the spree.
i'ts 1911 tell I pay my fee, goddammitall I gess I did it for me.
