Down Bound Train - Chuck Berry (查克·贝里)
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 down bound train

The engine with blood was sweaty and damp

And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp

And imps for fuel were shovelling bones

While the furnace rang with a thousand groans

The 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 hags

As 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 flashed

Hotter and hotter the air became

Till their clothes were burned
And they were screaming with pain
Then out of the distance there came a yell
Ha ha said the devil we're nearing home

Oh how the passengers shrieked with pain
And begged old Satan to stop that train

The 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 before

And the prayers and vows were not in vain

For he never rode that down bound train
