Long Black Train

Back when I was ten Jim was my best friend
 We'd go down to the station and watched the trains come in
 The long black train the long black train
 Some day I told my friend we'll ride that train and then
 We'll make a fortune for ourselves and we'll ride it home again
 The long black train the long black train
 As we grew older Jim grew wilder than the wind
 He robbed the bank in our hometown and they sent me after him
 On the long black train the long black train
 And so I cut my friend twelve men convicted him
 Ninety nine years is what he got I'll bet it seems like a hundred to Jim
 He'll miss the long black train the long black train

 (I guess about ever town has a girl that kinda looks better than the rest
 You know kinda soft and gooey lookin' and so darn pretty
 You can hardly take your eye off of her
 Well we had one like that in our town of Trouble Anna Mae Stillwell
 I guess she was about the best lookin' thing that's ever been raised in Trouble
 I remember when she was oh bout ten or eleven years old
 And she was the skinnest long legged thing
 Why you wouldn't even give her a second look
 Well anyway one spring Anna Mae started to blossom out
 Well sir she blossomed and blossomed and blossomed
 She blossomed so much that you'd've thought
 Winter wasn't never gonna come again
 Winter came all right and when it did we had one of the prettiest women
 You'd ever want to see livin' in our town
 A few years later old Bret Baker he's about twice her age I guess
 He saw Anna Mae and started courtin' her
 It wasn't too long before they were married
 And livin' in old Bret's big huge house down by the river
 Now I'll tell you the truth we all kinda envied Bret
 That is until one day Bret told us that things ain't always just exactl likey they seem)
