Black smoke rising from the iron track
Coal in the fire and there's no turning back
We ride the canyon side to catch the mail
Spur the horses, blazing down the trail Hooves are drumming,
steam is screaming high
Dynamite is ready, we do or we die
One leap over to the metal roof
Time to grab the gold and find the proof
Mail car mile, the engine blows (shout!) Cracking the safe before the
whistle goes! Posses' dust is closing fast behind (go,
go!) Take the strongbox,
leave the rest behind!
Fuse is burning on the iron door
Deafening crack, wood splinters on the floor
He's got the strongbox,
tossing it below
Leap back to the saddle,
ready now to go
Mail car mile, the engine blows (shout!) Cracking the safe before the
whistle goes! Posses' dust is closing fast behind (go,
go!) Take the strongbox,
leave the rest behind!
Ride away,
ride away
Into the canyon dust
Ride away
