|
The devil's train is long and black
|
It rides on rails of tears
|
It's headed for destruction now
|
With a drunken engineer
|
|
Oh see the greatness of the crowd
|
That waits beside the tracks
|
They're leaving on that devil's train
|
And never coming back
|
|
CHORUS
|
Oh Lord please stop that devil's train
|
Before it is too late
|
And teach them how to bow their heads
|
Before they seal their fate
|
|
The devil's train will take you to
|
A land of groans and pain
|
You'll spend your days in sorrow if
|
You ride that devil's train
|
|
Oh listen to that whistle scream
|
Like echoes from the blue
|
The throttle's wide and spouting steam
|
She's on her way to doom
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
The devil's train is long and black
|
It's beautiful to see
|
It offers you temptation but
|
It brings you misery
|
|
So come and ride that glorious train
|
Where happiness is free
|
It's on its way to heaven now
|
To spend eternity
|
