Down Bound Train - Willie Dixon (威利·迪克森)[00:00:00]

A stranger lying on a bar room floor [00:00:15]

Had drank so much[00:00:18]

He could drink no more [00:00:19]

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

To dream that he rode[00:00:24]

On that down bound train[00:00:26]

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 were shovelling bones[00:00:38]

While the furnace rang with a thousand groans [00:00:42]

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

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

The passengers were most a motley crew[00:00:56]

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

Rich men in broadcloth beggars in rags[00:01:02]

Handsome young ladies and wicked old hags[00:01:06]

As the train rushed on at a terrible pace[00:01:29]

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[00:01:39]

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

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

Hotter and hotter the air became[00:01:49]

Till their clothes were burned[00:01:51]

And they were screaming with pain[00:01:53]

Then out of the distance there came a yell[00:01:55]

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

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

And begged old Satan to stop that train[00:02:05]

The stranger awoke with an anguished cry[00:02:13]

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[00:02:34]

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