Текст песни The Great Pixley Train Robbery (Cass McCombs) с переводом

To your hands I give you

Aboard from Hawaii

The ship they call Northern Lights

A fugitive, one of three highway man

Who stopped the Pixley train at night

About 8 PM, 22 February

We force seven thousand in gold

Two were killed in the melee

A fireman of the train

And a passenger from Modesto

The leader was an insurance agent, this I know

The third man set for remote islands near the equator

When he found the ship

Would not put in there

There’s a reason to believe he set her on fire

When our bomb exploded

Buckshot unloaded

We three made off in dire

To the Right Honorable

American council

To the Hawaiian king

I swear before notary

To make a clean breast

Of the whole thing

In hope of salvation

For surely I’ll be found before port

Before postal authorities can act

I surrender myself unto the reward

Since I was taken

From the Napa asylum

And put on a whaler for my own good

I told the captain

Not to let me ashore

Except under guard

If no faith is placed

In this letter

You’re letting a brigand free

The passenger coaches

Were not molested

Violence, I can’t see
