Mark Swinegar - Delta Rose Lyrics

1200 miles away from me
Delta plays guns in Liberty
The train has eyes but still
Can't see, it snakes the land in 93

With Texas Slim she takes the part
She has a gun and has his heart
Rolling patsy he plays the lark
Slims in trouble from the start

Delta rose did kick and claw
Delta Rose did break the law
Prettiest girl you ever saw
Prettiest girl to break the law

With Raven hair and heart of black
She jumps up on the locos back
She stuffs gold all in a sack
She'll let Slim hang from the rack

Her father was an outlaw too
Robbing trains was nothing new
Killing men, one named Sue
One eye brown, one eye blue
