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
