Williams, Hank - The Devil's Train Lyrics

I love listening to Great songs like is and I love it

The Devil's Train is long and black
It rides on rails of fear
It's headin' for destruction now
With a drunken engineer

Oh see the greatness of the crowd
That waits beside the track
They're leavin' on that Devil's Train
And never comin' back

Oh Lord, please stop that terrible train
Before it is too late
And teach them how to bow their heads
Before it steals their fate

The Devil's Train will take you
To a land of groans and pain
You'll spend your days in sorrow
If you ride that Devil's Train

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

Oh Lord, please stop that terrible train
Before it is too late
And teach them how to bow their heads
Before it steals their fate

The Devil's Train is long and black
It's beautiful to see
It offers you temptation
But it gives you misery

So come and ride that glorious train
Where happiness is free
It's on its way to heaven now
To spend eternity

Oh Lord, please stop that terrible train
Before it is too late
And teach them how to bow their heads
Before it steals their fate

Anyone give me a link to the single version?? It's not as original with the overdub

Luke. TheDrifter same here man I’m following this l, I bet it sounds so much better just with him and his guitar

I love it I heared it when i was a kid it was my Grandfather's faviorite Song

does anyone know where to find this without the added overdubbing... it's a great song but I'd rather just listen to Hank. (Oh liiiiisten to that timing slip)

u9lift what do you mena? On the start?

Thanks for sharing; Jesus Christ Bless! :)

John...you must be right. It sizzles like Rockin' Chair Money, Rooty Tooty, I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow & the rest.

I jst heard this song but on leno it was by a group called the nocturnals with a lead singer who was dynamic

Wish they'd play this song in my church.

Great performance to be non studio , then dubbed after his death

.....No it doesn't, at all. Regardless of Adblock, Adele still exists.

the reason why not that many vews.i think folks don't understand what the song means.

Strange how this great rockabilly song has had only 959 views...some of Ol' Hank's other hits have over 2.7million hits...

One of Hank's best. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for taking the time to post this wonderful song!

So glad to have this song back on YouTube. Thanks for posting!

Not much is more depressing in a Hank Williams video/song than seeing an ad for Adele. Sigh....
