There's a big black mainliner runnin' these rails

Her long low whistle screamin' lonely wails

She's blowin' smoke and fire for all to see

She'll be ridin' these rails 'til eternity

Devil train (Devil train)

Devil train (Devil train)

Whoa, devil train

The engineer's eyes glow like hellfire coal

The fireman is black from shovelin' devil coal

The conductor collects the devil's dues

And the black train's whistle keeps on callin' you

Devil train (Devil train)

Devil train (Devil train)

Whoa, devil train

They grind to a stop at the station door

No one gets off, they just take on more

Then screamin' off again into the still of night

The devil train continues its hellbound flight

Devil train (Devil train)

Devil train (Devil train)

Whoa, devil train

Now you people take a warnin', let all beware

Don't you go to the station while the devil train is there

Well, use the other door and catch the glory-bound express

Use the ticket marked "Destination: Happiness"

Devil train (Devil train)

Devil train (Devil train)

Whoa, devil train

Devil train

Devil train
