Downbound Train - Steve James[00:00:01]

A stranger lyin' on a barroom floor[00:00:17]

Had drank so much that he could drink no more[00:00:22]

And so he fell asleep with a troubled brain[00:00:26]

To dream that he rode on a hellbound train[00:00:30]

The engine was bloody it was sweaty and damp[00:00:50]

And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp[00:00:54]

An imp for fuel was shovelin' bones[00:00:59]

While a furnace rang with a thousand groans[00:01:02]

The boiler was filled with lager beer[00:01:23]

The devil himself was the engineer[00:01:27]

The passengers were most a motley crew[00:01:31]

Some were foreigners and others he knew[00:01:36]

Rich men in broadcloth beggars in rags[00:01:40]

Handsome young ladies and wicked old hags[00:01:44]

As the engine rushed on at a terrible pace[00:02:03]

Sulfuric fumes scorched their hands and face[00:02:08]

Wider and wider the country grew[00:02:12]

Faster and faster the engine flew[00:02:16]

Louder and louder the thunder crashed[00:02:20]

Brighter and brighter the lightnin' flashed[00:02:24]

Hotter and hotter the air became[00:02:28]

'Til the clothes were burnin each quivering flame[00:02:31]

Then out of the distance there came a yell[00:02:36]

Ha ha said the devil we're nearin' hell[00:02:39]

Oh how the passengers stricken with pain[00:02:44]

Begged old satan to stop that train[00:02:48]

The stranger awoke with an anguished cry[00:03:42]

His clothes full of sweat and his hair standin' high[00:03:46]

He fell to his knees on the barroom floor[00:03:50]

And prayed and prayed like never before[00:03:54]

And his prayers and vows[00:04:14]

Were not in vain[00:04:18]

For he never rode[00:04:22]

All that down bound train[00:04:26]
