Nathan Thomas - The Train Robbery

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
