Downbound Train - Chuck Berry (查克·贝里)[00:00:00]

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

Had drank so much he could drink no more [00:00:17]

So he fell asleep with a troubled brain[00:00:20]

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 shovelling bones[00:00:38]

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

The boiler was filled with lots of beer[00:00:49]

The devil himself was the engineer [00:00:52]

The 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[00:01:41]

Brighter and brighter the lighting flashed [00:01:44]

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 [00:01:57]

Oh how the passengers shrieked with pain[00:02:01]

They go Satan with this down bound train [00:02:04]

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

His clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high [00:02:15]

He fell on his knees on the bar room floor[00:02:18]

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]
