[Alabama 3 - Have You Seen Bruce Richard Reynolds? lyrics]
A man we'd like to find
They say The Great Train Robbery
He was the mastermind
And his firm they pulled the greatest
Turn the world has ever known
Two million quid was stolen
The firm split for parts unknown
Have you seen Bruce Richard Reynolds? He's
A man we must detain
He's wanted for the robbery
Of the Glasgow-Euston train
Age 32, height six foot one, eyes grey
His hair is brown
Apprehend Bruce Richard Reynolds
He is wanted by The Crown
Well Reynolds and some people got
Together as a firm
While doin' bird in Wormwood Scrubs
He heard about a turn
To rob a train, but it needed brains
So Reynolds scratched his head
"When I done my bird, I'll rob that train"
That's what he said
When Reynolds left his prison cell
He started on his scheme
He contacted old Gordon G
And Tommy Wisbey's team
They came to an arrangement and
A partnership was made
By summer '63 the scene was
Set for Reynold's raid, yeah
On the night of August the 8th y'know
The raid went like a dream
A hundred and twenty mail bags full of
Money was stolen by the team
But someone left his fingerprints and the
Guys were soon on charge
But they'd only caught the muscle 'cause
The brains were still at large, yeah
On the grapevine came the news that
Mister Reynolds made a vow
"Well no-one grassed on me, ", he said
"I can't desert them now"
"And the iron bars and prison walls
They do not bother me"
"I've robbed the mail
So I'll rob the jails and
Set my whole firm free"
By August '64 old Charlie
Wilson left his cell
By late in '65 Ron Biggs said "Adiós" as well
Have you seen Bruce Richard Reynolds?
He's a mastermind you know
Just walking through the walls of jails
And lettin' his firm go
