Downbound Train - Chuck Berry[00:00:00]

Written by：Berry[00:00:02]

A stranger laying on a bar room floor[00:00:14]

Had drank so much he couldn't drink no more[00:00:18]

So he fell asleep with a troubled brain[00:00:21]

To dream that he rode on that down bound train[00:00:24]

The engine with blood was sweaty and damp[00:00:32]

And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp[00:00:35]

And imps for fuel was shoveling bones[00:00:38]

While the furnace rang with a thousand groans[00:00:41]

The boiler was filled with lager beer[00:00:50]

The devil himself was the engineer[00:00:53]

Passengers were most a motley crew[00:00:56]

Some were foreigners and others he knew[00:00:59]

Rich men and lost beggars in rags[00:01:02]

Handsome young ladies and wicked old hags[00:01:05]

As the train rushed on at a terrible pace[00:01:28]

Sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face[00:01:32]

Wider and wider the country grew[00:01:35]

Faster and faster the engine flew[00:01:38]

Louder and louder the thunder crashed[00:01:42]

Brighter and brighter the lighting flashed[00:01:45]

Hotter and hotter the air became[00:01:48]

Till their clothes were burned with each quivering refrain[00:01:51]

Then out of the din there came a yell[00:01:54]

Ha ha said the devil we're nearing home[00:01:58]

Oh how the passengers shrieked with pain[00:02:02]

And begged ol' satan to stop that train[00:02:04]

The stranger awoke with an anguished cry[00:02:12]

His clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high[00:02:16]

He fell on his knees on the bar room floor[00:02:19]

And prayed a prayer like never before[00:02:22]

And the prayers and vows were not in vain[00:02:33]

For he never rode that down bound train[00:02:38]
