Glendale Train

Lyricist: New Riders of the Purple Sage
Vocalist: Cliff Starbuck

Somebody robbed the Glendale train
This mornin' at half past nine
Sombody robbed the Glendale train
And I swear, I ain't lyin'
They made clean off with sixteen gee'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 twenty years on the line.
He kissed his wife at the station dear,
this morning at six thirty five
Every thing went fine till half past nine
when Charlie looked up and he saw.
Men on horses, men with guns, 
and no sign of the law.

Chorus

Amos White was the Luggage man,
and dearly loved his job.
The company rewarded him, 
with a golden watch and fob.
Well Amos he was workin' time
when the door blew off his car.
The found Amos White in fifteen pieces
Fifteen miles apart.

Chorus
