Lyrics

Now, Charlie Jones was the engineer He had twenty years on the line He kissed his wife at the station gate This morning at 6:35 Now everything went fine 'til half past nine Then Charlie looked up and he saw There was men on horses, men with guns And no sign of the law And somebody robbed the Glendale train This morning 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 lying cold Somebody robbed the Glendale train And they made off with the gold Amos White was the baggage man And he dearly loved his job The company, they rewarded him With a golden watch and fob Well, Amos, he was a-marking time When the door blew off his car They found Amos White in fifteen pieces Fifteen miles apart
