[Verse 1]
A cowboy laid on a bar room floor
Having drunk so much, he could drink no more
So he fell asleep with a troubled brain
To dream that he rode on a hell-bound train
[Verse 2]
The engine with murderous blood was damp
It was brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp
An imp, for fuel, was shoveling bones
While the furnace rang with a thousand groans
[Verse 3]
The boiler was filled with lager beer
The devil himself was the engineer
The passengers were a most motley crew
Church member, atheist, Gentile, and Jew
[Verse 4]
Rich mеn in broadclothes, and beggars in rags
Handsome young ladiеs, and withered old hags
Yellow and black, red, brown, and white
All chained together, oh God, what a sight
[Verse 5]
While the train rushed on at an awful pace
The sulphureous fumes scorched their hands and face
Wider and wider the country grew
And faster and faster the engine flew
A cowboy laid on a bar room floor
Having drunk so much, he could drink no more
So he fell asleep with a troubled brain
To dream that he rode on a hell-bound train
[Verse 2]
The engine with murderous blood was damp
It was brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp
An imp, for fuel, was shoveling bones
While the furnace rang with a thousand groans
[Verse 3]
The boiler was filled with lager beer
The devil himself was the engineer
The passengers were a most motley crew
Church member, atheist, Gentile, and Jew
[Verse 4]
Rich mеn in broadclothes, and beggars in rags
Handsome young ladiеs, and withered old hags
Yellow and black, red, brown, and white
All chained together, oh God, what a sight
[Verse 5]
While the train rushed on at an awful pace
The sulphureous fumes scorched their hands and face
Wider and wider the country grew
And faster and faster the engine flew
