Lyrics:
A drunkard lay on the barroom floor He drunk 'til he could not drink no more He went to sleep with a troubled brain And dreamt he was on The Hellbound Train The train if flew at an awful pace The brimstone a-burning both hands and face And worse and worse the roadbed grew And faster and faster the engine flew He blowed the whistle and rung the bell And the Devil said "Boys the next stop is Hell!" And all the passengers yelled in pain And begged the Devil to stop the train But the Devil laughed at their misery He hollered and roared and yelled with glee "You've paid your fare with the rest of my load And you've got to ride to the end of the road" "You robbed the weak and done wrong to the poor Turned hungry folks away from your door You've laid up gold 'til your purses bust And ruined young gals with your beastly lust" "You've mocked at God in your stubborn pride You've murdered and killed and cheated and lied You've double crossed partners and cussed and stole You belong to me both body and soul" "Your bones will burn in the flames that roar You'll scorch and sizzle from rind to core" Then the barroom rang with an awful scream As the drunkard awoke from his terrible dream Down on his knees on the barroom floor He prayed as he never had prayed before His prayers and vows they were in vain For his soul was doomed to the Hellbound Train
