Tonart: C major
Intro 1
Gbm
Verse 1
Gbm
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
Gbm
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
Gbm
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
Gbm
Rich men and lost beggars in rags
Handsome young ladies
Interlude 1
and wicked old hags
Gbm
Verse 5
Gbm
As the train rushed on at a
terrible pace
Sulfuric fumes scorched
their hands and face
Verse 6
Gbm
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
Gbm
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
Gbm
Oh, how the passengers
shrieked with pain
They go to Satan with this
Verse 9
down bound train
Gbm
The stranger awoke with an anguished cry
His clothes wet with sweat
and his hair standing high
Verse 10
Gbm
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
Gbm
For he never rode
that down bound train
