C
The devil's train is long and black
Am
It rides on rails of tears
C
It's headin' for destruction now
G7 C
With a drunken engineer
C
Oh see the greatness of the crowd
Am
That waits beside the track
C
They're leaving on that devil's train
G7 C
And never coming back
*CHORUS*:
C
Oh Lord please stop that devil's train
G7
Before it is too late
C
And teach them how to bow their heads
G7 C
Before they seal their fate
C
The devil's train will take you to
Am
A land of groans and pain
C
You'll spend your days in sorrow if
G7 C
You ride that devil's train
C
Oh listen to that whistle scream
Am
Like echoes from the blue
C
The throttle's wide and spoutin' steam
G7 C
She's on her way to doom
*CHORUS*:
C
Oh Lord please stop that devil's train
G7
Before it is too late
C
And teach them how to bow their heads
G7 C
Before they seal their fate
C
The devil's train is long and black
Am
It's beautiful to see
C
It offers you temptation but
G7 C
It brings you mis-ery
So come and ride that glorious train
Am
Where happiness is free
C
It's on its way to heaven now
G7 C
To spend eter-nity
*CHORUS*:
C
Oh Lord please stop that devil's train
G7
Before it is too late
C
And teach them how to bow their heads
G7 C
Before they seal their fate
