We're hot on the trail of a US Mail Train
Me and the whole gang will always be the same
We're hot on the trail and we know darn well
We got to rob a few more rails
Just to cure these mail train blues
It was a hard life in the sun and rain
Drive the cattle in and down to Santa Fe
Then the track came that train just never came
If the law don’t catch us, we’ll make our living this way
We're hot on the trail of a US Mail Train
Me and the whole gang will always be the same
We're hot on the trail and we know darn well
We got to rob a few more rails
Just to cure these mail train blues
It was a hot day and the ladies came
I had one lady down
Lord, I had to take a look around
It was a sure thing, so I bet everything
Before cowboys came and took my ladies away
We're hot on the trail of a US Mail Train
Me and the whole gang will always be the same
We're hot on the trail and we know darn well
We got to rob a few more rails
Sing these mail train blues
We're hot on the trail of a US Mail Train
Me and the whole gang will always be the same
We're hot on the trail and we know darn well
We got to rob a few more rails
Just to cure these mail train blues
We got to rob a few more rails
Just to cure these mail train blues
We got to rob a few more rails
Sing these mail train blues
