1st verse I was just a boy of ten when it happened Though they talk about it still today I remember reading headlines in the paper In my mind's eye I can see them say Chorus The great train robbery Do you remember The great train robbery Do you remember Five men and a woman with a shotgun Tried to rob a train Five men and a woman with a shotgun So the papers say 2nd verse On a cold and windy night in December In the year of 1899 And the people of the world still remember How they disappeared into the night The great train robbery Do you remember The great train robbery Do you remember 3rd verse It's a long time since that cold day in December And the story is a legend now And the woman living in the town of Denver Is the only one they never found Repeat chorus
