Tonart: C major•
Verse 1
Ebm
A stranger lying on a bar room floor
Had drank so much he
could drink no more
And so he fell asleep with
a troubled brain
To dream that he rode on
Verse 2
that down bound train
Ebm
The engine with blood was
sweaty and damp
And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp
And imps for fuel was shovelling bones
While the furnace rang with
Verse 3
a thousand groans
Ebm
The boiler was filled with lots of beer
The devil himself was the engineer
The passengers were
most a motley crew
Some were foreigners and others he knew
Verse 4
Ebm
Rich men and lost beggars in rags
Handsome young ladies
Interlude 1
and wicked old hags
Ebm
Verse 5
Ebm
As the train rushed on at a
terrible pace
Sulfuric fumes scorched
their hands and face
Verse 6
Ebm
Wider and wider the country grew
Faster and faster the engine flew
Louder and louder the
thunder crashed
Verse 7
Brighter and brighter the lighting flashed
Ebm
Hotter and hotter the air became
Til' their clothes were burned
with each quivering refrain
Then out of the din there came a yell
Ha ha, said the devil we're nearing home
Verse 8
Ebm
Oh, how the passengers
shrieked with pain
They go to Satan with this
Verse 9
down bound train
Ebm
The stranger awoke with an anguished cry
His clothes wet with sweat
and his hair standing high
Verse 10
Ebm
He fell on his knees on the bar room floor
And prayed a prayer like never before
And the prayers and vows were not in vain
Ebm
For he never rode
that down bound train
