Lyrics Hank Williams

Hank Williams

Devil's Train

The Devil's Train is long and black

It rides on rails of fear

It's headin' for destruction now

With a drunken engineer

Oh see the greatness of the crowd

That waits beside the track

They're leavin' on that Devil's Train

And never comin' back

Oh Lord, please stop that terrible train

Before it is too late

And teach them how to bow their heads

Before it steals 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 blood is white and spouting steam

She's on her way to doom

Oh Lord, please stop that terrible train

Before it is too late

And teach them how to bow their heads

Before it steals their fate

The Devil's Train is long and black

It's beautiful to see

It offers you temptation

But it gives you misery

So come and ride that glorious train

Where happiness is free

It's on its way to heaven now

To spend eternity

Oh Lord, please stop that terrible train

Before it is too late

And teach them how to bow their heads

Before it steals their fate
