^FThe foreman touched the c^Fold steel li^Fnes ^FThe rail bed was f^Grozen with i^Fce ^FIn the distance an engine was k^Feeping good t^Fime ^FThe steam whistle m^Goaned just t^Fwice

^FDown in the cut past the old Tr^Fessel bridge ^FTwelve fine horses s^Gtood ^FMasked men shivered in the c^Fold on the r^Fidge ^FNot far from the G^Glendale wo^Fods

^FThe brass lamp shone from the s^Fwaying t^Frain ^FWhen the driver s^Gaw the red li^Fght ^FHer iron brakes sparked like s^Filver r^Fain ^FAnd the metals scr^Geamed through the ni^Fght

^FThe baggage man peered out to l^Fook for the fault ^FWhen fear froze up his he^Gart ^FHe was staring down the barrel of an a^Frmy c^Folt ^FThat threatened to t^Gear him a^Fpart

^FWe will burn your train to cinders ^Fso throw the money on d^Fown ^FOpen up your damned express car ^FAnd jump down to the gr^Found

^FBut we won't touch that old woman ^F[Incomprehensible] and they cl^Faimed ^FThey ain't offered no reward ^FFor Frank and Jesse J^Fames ^FFrank and Jesse Ja^Fmes

^FIn long soldier's coats f^Frayed with the y^Fears ^FQuickly they sc^Grambled ab^Foard ^FMen were the sweatin' and the w^Fomen shed t^Fears ^FAnd a preacher pr^Gayed to the L^Ford

^FWhen they opened the safe there was not^Fhing for them ^FSo they strode down through the tr^Gain ^FWhat a miserable sight these d^Fesperate ^Fmen ^FRobbin' old folks for their g^Gold, watch, ch^Fains

^FWe will burn your train to cinders ^Fso throw the money on d^Fown ^FOpen up your damned express car ^FAnd jump down to the gr^Found

^FBut we won't touch that old woman ^F[Incomprehensible] and they cl^Faimed ^FThey ain't offered no reward ^FFor Frank and Jesse J^Fames ^FFrank and Jesse J^Fames

^FNow some say the devil had taken his s^Foul ^FSome say his spirit sur^Gvived ^FBut we all know he was nothin' but a M^Fissouri farm ^Fboy ^FJust fighting to s^Gtay al^Five

^FHigh above that rai^Flroad bed ^FOn a ridge where the pines grow ta^Gll ^FIf you listen to the wind, there's a g^Fhost of a c^Fhance ^FYou can still hear ^Gold Jesse c^Fall

^FWe will burn your train to cinders ^Fso throw the money on ^Fdown ^FOpen up your damned express car ^FAnd jump down to the g^Fround

^FBut we won't touch that old woman ^F[Incomprehensible] and they cla^Fimed ^FThey ain't offered no reward ^FFor Frank and Jesse Ja^Fmes ^FFrank and Jesse Ja^Fmes
