Downbound Train - Chuck Berry[00:00:01]

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

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

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

To dream that he rode on that down bound train[00:00:23]

The engine with blood was sweaty and damp[00:00:31]

And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp[00:00:34]

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

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

The boiler was filled with lager beer[00:00:49]

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

The passengers were most a motley crew[00:00:55]

Some were foreigners and others he knew[00:00:58]

Rich men in broadcloth 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[00:01:31]

Wider and wider the country grew[00:01:34]

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[00:01:50]

And they were screaming with pain[00:01:52]

Then out of the distance 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]

And begged old 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[00:02:15]

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

And prayed a prayer like never before[00:02:21]

And the prayers and vows were not in vain[00:02:32]

For he never rode that down bound train[00:02:37]
