Glendale Train    (1971)

Somebody robbed the Glendale train
This mornin' at half past nine
Somebody robbed the Glendale train
And I swear, I ain't lyin'
They made clean off with sixteen "G"s
And left two men lyin' cold
Somebody robbed the Glendale train
And they made off with the gold

Charlie Jones was the engineer, he had 20 years on the line
He kissed his wife at the station gate, this morning 6:35
Everything went fine till half past 9, when Charlie looked up and he saw
Some men on horses, men with guns, and no sign of the law

Somebody robbed the Glendale train
This mornin' at half past nine
Somebody robbed the Glendale train
And I swear, I ain't lyin'
They made clean off with sixteen "G"s
And left two men lyin' cold
Somebody robbed the Glendale train
And they made off with the gold

Amos White was the baggage man, and dearly loved his job
The company rewarded him with a golden watch and fob
Well Amos he was markin' time when the door blew off his car
They found Amos White in 15 pieces, 15 miles apart

Somebody robbed the Glendale train
This mornin' at half past nine
Somebody robbed the Glendale train
And I swear, I ain't lyin'
They made clean off with sixteen "G"s
And left two men lyin' cold
Somebody robbed the Glendale train
And they made off with the gold

Somebody robbed the Glendale train
This mornin' at half past nine
Somebody robbed the Glendale train
And I swear, I ain't lyin'
They made clean off with sixteen "G"s
And left two men lyin' cold
Somebody robbed the Glendale train
And they made off with the gold

I said somebody robbed the Glendale train
And made off with the gold
