I Dreamed I Saw Jesse James Last Night Lyrics - When The Devil Goes Blind - Charlie Parr

You see that train, running fast, roll on down the line 

See that train, roll on down the line 

I lived near these tracks, almost all my life 

Well, there's money in that rich folk's mail that I'll never see 

There's money in there, that I'll never see 

Can't ride no train, this hobo's ride for free 

Well I work all day, slave away but my money's not my own 

I work all day but my money's not my own 

Feed the kids, rest goes on the loan 

When I sleep at night, toss and turn, I'm dreaming about Jesse James 

When I sleep at night, I'm dreaming about Jesse James 

Hold up that train, brother ride away 

When I lay there awake staring, Ned Kelly's on my mind 

When I lay there awake, Ned Kelly's on my mind 

Pull up them tracks, let them rich folks ride 

Well I put on my hat, put up my boots and whispered my wife's name 

put on my hat and whispered my wife's name 

got my 4.10 I went to meet the train 

Well I'm on the track my rifle's cocked but she ain't slowing down 

I'm on the track but she ain't slowing down 

She ain't gonna stop, poor boy's heaven bound
