The Train Robbery Lyrics

Chester Bronson from Toronto

Grew up stacking piles of hay

He makes his money in the coal mine

Way out toward Hamilton way

Filling fifty carts a day

Where he works his life away

He heard of gold out on the west coast

Towards the rocky mountain way

He knew his savings couldnt come close

To the fare he had to pay

Said I've got to find a way

Saying god don't let me stay

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

Get me out today

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

You know I've got to get away

He robbed a train outside of Kingston

Made off with the stolen gold

The lawman made a new conviction

And now Chester's getting old

In the cell where he is hold

But the gold was never sold

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

Get me out today

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

You know I've got to get away

He made it out without detection

And wandered down the secret path

He needed not but one correction

Before he found the buried stash

Now he knows he's free at last

But the lawman's coming fast

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

Get me out today

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

You know I've got to get away

Oh you're gonna do some time

Oh you're really gonna do some time

Oh you're really gonna do some time today

Oh you're really gonna do some time

Cause you really couldn't stand in line

Oh you're really gonna do some time today
