The devil's train is long and black
It rides on rails of fear
It's headed for destruction now
With a drunken engineer

Oh Lord, please stop that devil's train
Before it is too late
Oh Lord, please stop that devil's train
Before we seal our fate

The devil's train will take you to
A land of groans and pain
You'll spend your days in sorrow there
If you ride that train (yep)

Oh Lord, please stop that devil's train
Before it is too late
Oh Lord, please stop that devil's train
Before we seal our fate

Oh, listen to that whistle scream
Like echoes from the blue
Her blood is white and spouting steam
She's on her way to you

Oh Lord, please stop that devil's train
Before it is too late
Oh Lord, please stop that devil's train
Before we seal our fate
The devil's train is long and black
She's beautiful to see
She'll offer you temptation now
But bring you misery

Oh Lord, please stop that devil's train
Before it is too late
Oh Lord, please stop that devil's train
Before we seal our fate

Oh Lord, please stop that devil's train
Before it is too late
Oh Lord, please stop that devil's train
Before we seal our fate
