A stranger lying on a bar room floor Had drank so much he could drink no more So he fell asleep with a troubled brain To dream that he rode on that downbound trainThe engine with blood was sweaty and damp And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp And imps for fuel was shoveling bones While the furnace rang with a thousand groansThe boiler was filled with lager beer The devil himself was the engineer The passengers were most a motley crew Some were foreigners and others he knew Rich men in broadcloth, beggars in rags Handsome young ladies and wicked old hagsAs the train rushed on at a terrible pace Sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face Wider and wider the country grew Faster and faster the engine flew Louder and louder the thunder crashed Brighter and brighter the lighting flashedHotter and hotter the air became Till their clothes were burned with each quivering refrain Then out of the din there came a yell Ha ha said the devil we're nearing home Oh how the passengers shrieked with pain They begged old Satan to stop that trainThe stranger awoke with an anguished cry His clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high He fell on his knees on the bar room floor And prayed a prayer like never beforeAnd the prayers and vows were not in vain For he never rode that downbound train
