The Devil´s Train - Hank Williams

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 it’s way to heaven now

To spend eternity
