    Danville Train
    Danville Train
    Mr. Howard rode the Danville train
    He got on board in the lightening and rain
    He drank his whiskey without any ice
    He had a shot, he had one twice
    He rolled his cards and cut his dice
    Mr. Howard rode the Danville train
    and Jesse James is in heaven now 
    Jesse James loved his woman
    Jesse James loved his wife
    Jesse James carved their names 
    in a rock with a butcher knife
     
    Mr. Howard rode the Danville train
    He got on board with nothing to gain
    They say that he missed the border raid
    He cut the cards, drew the ace of spades
    Bought his ticket, his last farthing paid
    Mr. Howard rode the Danville train
    and Jesse James is in heaven now
    Dennis Kline (2014) from Oh My Soul
