[Verse 1]
I was born in '43
Down in Jackson County
Daddy was a farmer
We were tired of being poor
[Verse 2]
My brothers taught me how to steal
And live by jumpin' bounty
But I learned how to kill
In Lincoln's dirty war
[Verse 3]
When the fight was over
I returned to mother
I promised her I'd go to work and be an honest son
But in Seymour, Indiana, I met up with my brothers
They said, "Here comes the O and M" and handed me a gun
[Verse 4]
Goodbye brothers and all the Reno gang
Me and Frank and William, together we will hang
And goodbye sister, Laura, true and lovely
Tell everyone that we swung for the first train robbery
[Verse 5]
We boarded at the station and steamed through the holler
The engineer, out of fear, stopped that rolling train
We broke into the mail car and found those silver dollars
But I saw a neighbor's face as we made away
[Verse 6]
I said, "Boy, there was a witness, so before we split a penny
We need to find him and be sure he'll never testify"
So we stole into Seymour and shot poor Mr. Kinney
Though he fell to his knees and pleaded for his life
[Verse 7]
Goodbye brothers and all the Reno gang
Me and Frank and William, together we will hang
And goodbye sister, Laura, true and lovely
Tell everyone that we swung for the first train robbery
[Verse 8]
For three years longer, we lived on steak and brandy
'Til the Pinkerton agents threw us in this jail
Now I hear the voices of the vigilantes
Say, let's put the Reno boy on the train to hell
[Verse 9]
Goodbye brothers and all the Reno gang
Me and Frank and William, together we will hang
And goodbye sister, Laura, true and lovely
Tell everyone that we swung for the first train robbery
