Lyrics

Billy Ray and Bobby Jr. laid their final plan,
Sat and schemed above the map they'd scratched upon the sand,
Tomorrow, very early at the dawnin' of the day,
They'd ride to San Antone and they would make their daring play.

The train was haulin' money bound for California banks,
They hit her on the siding taking water in her tanks,
Shot a guard and porter, and the two were quickly gone,
With a hundred-thousand dollars from the train at San Antone.
(Instr.Break)

News about the holdup went out singing on the wire,
News about their daring set the peoples blood on fire,
A posse of a hundred angry men would track 'em down,
tied across their saddles they would bring 'em into town.

It's said they made the border 'cause the two were never found,
But they turned on one another and they gunned each other down,
Now all that's left of both of them's their greedy sun-bleached bones,
And a hundred thousand dollars from the train at San Antone.
