Verse 1
Am
A stranger lying
on a barroom floor
Had drank so much he could drink no more
So he fell asleep with a troubled brain
To dream that he rode on
that downbound train
Verse 2
Am
The engine with blood was
sweaty and damp
And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp
And imps for fuel was shoveling bones
While the furnace rang with
a thousand groans
Verse 3
Am
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
Am
Rich men in broadcloth,
beggars in rags
Handsome young ladies
and wicked old hags
The train rushed on at a terrible
pace
Sulfuric fumes scorched
their hands and face
Verse 5
Am
Wider even wider the country grew
Faster and faster the engine flew
Louder and louder
the thunder crashed
Brighter and brighter the
lightning flashed
Verse 6
Am
Hotter and hotter the air became
'Til their clothes were burned,
and they were screaming with pain
Then out of the distance
there came a yell
"Ha- ha," said the devil,
"We're nearly home"
Verse 7
Am
Oh, how the passengers
shrieked with pain
Begged old Satan to stop that train
The stranger awoke with
an anguished cry
His clothes wet with sweat
and his hair standing high
Verse 8
Am
He fell on his knees
on the barroom floor
And prayed a prayer like
never before
And the prayers and vows
were not in vain
For he never rode that downbound train
