The Great Train Robbery (Album Version) 歌詞
The Great Train Robbery - Mountain
Do you remember the great train robbery
How it all happened back in '63
When Johnny Rainbow took his band of brave men
Went down to the crossing to meet that train
When they were sure the time was right
Fourteen men to share seven million
Bound to steal steal it all and run
Johnny wanted to keep it peaceful
But Wilson cried and though it might have died
You know they had to turn and run
The life of a thief
Is all bits and pieces
It's out on the street
And all that it teaches
The look in the wind
And taking a gamble
The wages of sin
Are too hot to handle
He takes what he finds
Yeah he's marking time
His life's on the line
No one knows where the Rainbow is hiding
He's been sure not to tip his hand
He is still living on the fruits of that bloody day
They caught some of his friends
They got some of his money
But they never could catch that man
The affairs of that night will live forever
As the law was breeched in the heart of a thief
Many legends still declare that tragic day
How the iron horse fell oh I know so well
I was a party to all that grief
