Ricky Nelson - New Delhi Freight Train lyrics

rate me

(T. Allen)

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...
