The Great Train Robbery

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
 (Look him in the eye)
 He takes what he finds
 (Look him in the eye)
 Yeah, he's marking time
 (Look him in the eye)
 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
