Lyrics
Bloodshed sin
The dark black ink read
Dead by the railroad track
Then looking out her window
She saw the morning widow driving by in a blue Cadillac
When the officers came in
Trying to bust her in
For forty years with a ball and stripe
She switch her blade and her act was tight
But she got blinded by the light
Poor old mother
That's how the story read
Poor old mother
That's how the story read
By the end of the week
The judge and jury agreed
It was time to lock Annie that night
While you were on the run
We found the gun you used to take
your own son's life
Annie was tough and though she was cuffed
She wouldn't leave without a roar
She said my son was a thief
And I shall be relieved
When you lock that old cell door
Poor old mother
That's how the story read
Poor old mother
That's how the story read
Jailbound train draggin' Annie's name
Cross-country through the mud and snow
When a dynamite blast
Set the train off-track
Somebody had to steal the show
When the widow walked in
Shotgun in hand
Ready to shoot at anybody in sight
She said Jailbird Annie
I'm here to set you free
Yeah I'm taking you home tonight
Poor old mother
That's how the story read
Poor old mother
That's how the story read
She was just cutting the golden thread
That's how the story read
