Lyrics

Well, somebody robbed the Glendale train This morning, half past nine Somebody robbed the Glendale train I swear, I ain't lying They made clean off with 16 G's And left two men lying cold Now somebody robbed the Glendale train And they made off with the gold Charlie Jones was the engineer He had 20 years on the line Here comes his wife at the station gate This morning at 6:35 Now everything went fine 'til the 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, half past nine Somebody robbed the Glendale train I swear, I ain't lying They made clean off with 16 G's And 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 Now, Amos, he was a-marking time When the door blew off his car They found Amos White in 15 pieces 15 miles apart And somebody robbed the Glendale train This morning, half past nine Somebody robbed the Glendale train I swear I ain't lying They made clean off with 16 G's And two men lying cold Somebody robbed the Glendale train And they made off with the gold Oh, somebody robbed the Glendale train This morning, half past nine Somebody robbed the Glendale train I swear, I ain't lying They made clean off with 16 G's And two men lying cold Somebody robbed the Glendale train And they made off with the gold I said somebody robbed the Glendale train And they made off with the gold
