[00:14.32]A stranger lying on a bar room floor
[00:17.38]Had drank so much he could drink no more
[00:20.49]And so he fell asleep with a troubled brain
[00:23.59]To dream that he rode on that down bound train
[00:31.72]The engine with blood was sweaty and damp
[00:34.86]And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp
[00:38.11]And imps for fuel were shoveling bones
[00:41.14]While the furnace rang with a thousand groans
[00:49.38]The boiler was filled with lager beer
[00:52.47]The devil himself was the engineer
[00:55.66]The passengers were most a motley crew
[00:58.82]Some were foreigners and others he knew
[01:02.05]Rich men in broadcloth beggars in rags
[01:05.10]Handsome young ladies and wicked old hags
[01:28.08]As the train rushed on at a terrible pace
[01:31.66]Sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face
[01:34.87]Wider and wider the country grew
[01:38.15]Faster and faster the engine flew
[01:41.32]Louder and louder the thunder crashed
[01:44.60]Brighter and brighter the lighting flashed
[01:48.00]Hotter and hotter the air became
[01:50.91]Till their clothes were burned
[01:52.39]And they were screaming with pain
[01:54.02]Then out of the distance there came a yell
[01:57.39]Ha ha said the devil we're nearing home
[02:01.29]Oh how the passengers shrieked with pain
[02:04.02]And begged old Satan to stop that train
[02:12.18]The stranger awoke with an anguished cry
[02:15.37]His clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high
[02:18.61]He fell on his knees on the bar room floor
[02:21.65]And prayed a prayer like never before
[02:32.96]And the prayers and vows were not in vain
[02:37.75]For he never rode that down bound train
