New Delhi Freight Train Lyrics - Rick Nelson

Now some people are sayin' that I'm crazy 

'Cause my real name is just Jesse James 

Well, I left them half rocked, hard knocked in Black Rock County 

Just to ride on that New Delhi train. 

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train 

Ridin' on that New Delhi line 

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train 

And left my love behind, left my love behind. 

I'm just a country boy without angels 

I'm just a country boy without gold 

And I've been to Silver City below the rainbow 

Where they say I pillaged and I killed and I stole. 

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train 

Ridin' on that New Delhi line 

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train 

And left my life behind, left my life behind. 

Well, they say I killed a man named Smiley Dearden 

Say I killed him with one of my guns 

And I know that I did what I had not ought to 

But I went on the run from what I'd done 

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train 

Ridin' on that New Delhi line 

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train 

And left my love behind, left my love behind. 

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train 

Ridin' on that New Delhi line 

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train 

And left my life behind, left my life behind. 

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train 

Ridin' on that New Delhi line 

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train 

And left my love behind, left my love behind. 

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train 

Ridin' on that New Delhi line 

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train 

And left my life behind, left my life behind...
