Strangers on a Train © Enda Reilly 2006
V1 ?I?ll kill your wife for ya,
If you?ll kill my father for me?,
Said a stranger on a train,
That crazy fools? game almost destroyed me.
V2 My wife was a cheating liar,
She would have another man?s baby,
She played dirty tricks,
Held me in a fix,
?Til a stranger set me free.
Ch1 (Don?t talk to) STRANGERS ON A TRAIN,
Who play the crazy criss-cross game,
(Don?t talk to) STRANGERS ON A TRAIN,
It?s a dangerous dangerous game.
V3 The stranger stalked and strangled her,
Now the police suspect me,
And the maniac,
Is on my back,
He?s given me his house key.
V4 I?m to go and kill his father,
Or else he?ll have me framed,
But if I do it,
I?ll surely rue it,
Damn that stranger on that train.
Ch2 (Don?t talk to) STRANGERS ON A TRAIN,
Who play the crazy criss-cross game,
(Don?t talk to) STRANGERS ON A TRAIN,
It?s a dangerous dangerous game.
Bridge I must make haste,
Or I?ll be laid to waste,
In a cell on an Isle at sea:
It?s him I?ll kill,
His blood I?ll spill,
With all my will,
Then there?ll be?
No more misery.
Ch3 (Don?t talk to) STRANGERS ON A TRAIN,
Who play the crazy criss-cross game,
(Don?t talk to) STRANGERS ON A TRAIN,
It?s a dangerous dangerous game.
V5 I?ll kill someone for ya,
If you?ll kill someone for me,
Said a stranger on a train,
That crazy fools? game almost destroyed me.
