lyrics

Colt Express
Play your cards right and you might find success
Colt Express
But when all’s revealed there could just be a mess
Colt Express

The passengers enjoy the pleasant train ride unaware
Marshall shines his badge while he chats with the engineer
The bandits riding hard a fast to catch up with the train
No one knows what chaos is soon about to reign

Colt Express
Play your cards right and you might find success
Colt Express
But when all’s revealed there could just be a mess
Colt Express

Belle and Mei and Cheyenne set themselves to lootin’
Django, Doc, Ghost and Tuco pull out guns for shootin’
The Marshall tries to fend them off as the train goes round the bend
In the midst of all the schemin’ there’ll be stealin’ to the end

Colt Express
Play your cards right and you might find success
Colt Express
But when all’s revealed there could just be a mess
Colt Express

Bullets, screams and punches they’re flying all around
Someone drops a bunch of cash and gems upon the ground
The scramble to collect the loot is fully underway
The bandit who collects the most will win this game today

Colt Express
Play your cards right and you might find success
Colt Express
But when all’s revealed there could just be a mess
Colt Express
