Terry Allen - New Delhi Freight Train lyrics

Some people think that I must be crazy

But my real name is just Jesse James

An I left them half-crocked, hard-knocks of black rock county

Just to ride on that New Delhi Train

Ridin on that New Delhi Freight Train

Ridin down that New Delhi Line

Ridin on that New Delhi Freight Train

Well I left my love behind

Yeah I left my love behind

Yeah I'm just a country boy without angels

ahhh just a country boy without gold

An I been to silver cities load of rainbows

Where I pillaged and I killed and I stole

Ridin on that New Delhi Freight Train

Ridin down that New Delhi Line

Ridin on that New Delhi Freight Train

Well I left my life behind

Yeah I left my life behind

Then I killed a man named smilin Jordan (Jeer-dun)

Yeah I killed him with one of my guns

And I knew that I had did what I had not ought to

But I welcomed the run from what I'd done

Ridin on that New Delhi Freight Train

Ridin down that New Delhi Line

Ridin on that New Delhi Freight Train

Well I left my guns behind

Yeah I left my guns behind

(repeat)
