Sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face, a stranger lying on a bar room floor Berry, louder and louder the thunder crashed
wider and wider the country grew
Louder and louder the thunder crashed, handsome young ladies and wicked old hags
Beggars in rags, the passengers were most a motley crew, sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face
And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp, till their clothes were burned and they were screaming with pain
Said the devil, said the devil Chuck, hotter and hotter the air became
the boiler was filled with lots of beer
And begged old satan to stop that train, said the devil Bound, said the devil
Handsome young ladies and wicked old hags, beggars in rags
as the train rushed on at a terrible pace
A stranger lying on a bar room floor, the boiler was filled with lots of beer
Then out of the distance there came a yell, he fell on his knees on the bar room floor
Wider and wider the country grew, the stranger awoke with an anguished cry Down, he fell on his knees on the bar room floor
And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp, to dream that he rode on that downbound train, some were foreigners and others he knew
For he never rode that downbound train, a stranger lying on a bar room floor
Faster and faster the engine flew, so he fell asleep with a troubled brain, and brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp
The engine with blood was sweaty and damp, rich men in broadcloth, the devil himself was the engineer
hotter and hotter the air became
Oh how the passengers shrieked with pain, the passengers were most a motley crew
Sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face, the engine with blood was sweaty and damp
Sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face, louder and louder the thunder crashed, sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face
The stranger awoke with an anguished cry, beggars in rags
While the furnace rang with a thousand groans, sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face, the engine with blood was sweaty and damp
As the train rushed on at a terrible pace, the stranger awoke with an anguished cry Down, for he never rode that downbound train
As the train rushed on at a terrible pace, and prayed a prayer like never before, faster and faster the engine flew
Wider and wider the country grew, the devil himself was the engineer Train, he fell on his knees on the bar room floor
and the prayers and vows were not in vain
his clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high
While the furnace rang with a thousand groans, sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face
Till their clothes were burned and they were screaming with pain, the stranger awoke with an anguished cry, wider and wider the country grew
his clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high
While the furnace rang with a thousand groans, his clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high Bound, sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face
Till their clothes were burned and they were screaming with pain, the passengers were most a motley crew
Wider and wider the country grew, the passengers were most a motley crew
Louder and louder the thunder crashed, then out of the distance there came a yell
Louder and louder the thunder crashed, had drank so much he could drink no more
And imps for fuel was shoveling bones, and imps for fuel was shoveling bones Chuck, beggars in rags
Hotter and hotter the air became, had drank so much he could drink no more
a stranger lying on a bar room floor
And begged old satan to stop that train, brighter and brighter the lightning flashed, the stranger awoke with an anguished cry
the stranger awoke with an anguished cry
Then out of the distance there came a yell, so he fell asleep with a troubled brain
Brighter and brighter the lightning flashed, then out of the distance there came a yell Chuck, the engine with blood was sweaty and damp
The boiler was filled with lots of beer, the stranger awoke with an anguished cry, sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face
Till their clothes were burned and they were screaming with pain, the passengers were most a motley crew, rich men in broadcloth
handsome young ladies and wicked old hags
Sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face, his clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high, till their clothes were burned and they were screaming with pain
Handsome young ladies and wicked old hags, he fell on his knees on the bar room floor Bound, louder and louder the thunder crashed
Beggars in rags, for he never rode that downbound train
And begged old satan to stop that train, said the devil
