The devil's train is long and black It rides on rails of tears It's headed for destruction now, With a drunken engin-eer Oh, see the greatness of the crowd That waits beside the track They're leaving on that devil's train And never coming back Oh Lord, please stop that devil's train Before it is too late And teach them how to bow their heads Be-fore 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 miser-y So come and ride that glorious train Where happiness is free It's on its way to heaven now To spend eternit-y Chorus Tabbed by Joe Wallace, Countrytabs.com
