After the robbery he was put in jail
Hold on a second, that’s not the whole tale

They moved him back to Eastland in 1929
He was put in jail without a dime

First he tried escape then he killed a jailor
So far, all that he did was a BIG failure

He was probably taken outside where it was really freezing
He was going to be hung and mob didn’t do much teasing

Then behind the Majestic Theater where they were playing “The Noose”
They hung Santa like a Christmas goose!!

The first time they tried, Santa fell down
That must have been embarrassing in front of the whole town!

So the Santa Claus tale comes to a close
A bank robbery gone bad and history made in a little town called Cisco
