Little Feat – New Delhi Freight Train lyrics

Now, some people are sayin' that I'm crazy
'Cause, my real name is just Jesse James
Well I left them half crocked, hard knocks to the Black Rock County
Just to ride on that New Delhi train

I'm ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
I'm ridin' on that New Delhi line
I'm ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And I 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 cities, load of rainbows
Where they say, I pillaged and I killed and I stole

I'm ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And I left my life behind, left my life behind

Well they say I killed a man named Smiley Jeerdun
They say I killed him with one of my guns
Well I know that I did what I had not ought to
But I welcomed the run from what I'd done

I'm ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
I'm ridin' on that New Delhi line
I'm ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And I left my guns behind

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And I left my guns behind

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And I left my life behind

Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
Ridin' on that New Delhi line
