CThe devil's train is long and black 
It rides on rails of Amtears 
It's Cheadin' for destruction now 
With a G7drunken enCgineer
COh see the greatness of the crowd 
That waits beside the Amtrack 
They're Cleaving on that devil's train 
And never G7coming Cback 
*CHORUS*:
COh Lord please stop that devil's train 
Before it is too G7late 
And Cteach them how to bow their heads 
Before they G7seal their Cfate
CThe devil's train will take you to 
A land of groans and Ampain 
You'll Cspend your days in sorrow if 
You ride that deG7vil's trCain 
COh listen to that whistle scream 
Like echoes from the Amblue 
The Cthrottle's wide and spoutin' steam 
She's on her G7way to Cdoom 
*CHORUS*:
COh Lord please stop that devil's train 
Before it is too G7late 
And Cteach them how to bow their heads 
Before they G7seal their Cfate
CThe devil's train is long and black 
It's beautiful to Amsee 
It Coffers you temptation but 
It brings you mG7is-eCry 
So come and ride that glorious train 
Where happiness is Amfree 
It's Con its way to heaven now 
To spend eG7ter-nCity 
*CHORUS*:
COh Lord please stop that devil's train 
Before it is too G7late 
And Cteach them how to bow their heads

Chords in this song · guitar

The devil's train is long and black

It rides on rails of tears

It's headin' for destruction now

G7 C

With a drunken engineer

Oh see the greatness of the crowd

That waits beside the track

They're leaving on that devil's train

G7 C

And never coming back

*CHORUS*:

Oh Lord please stop that devil's train

Before it is too late

And teach them how to bow their heads

G7 C

Before they seal their fate

The devil's train will take you to

A land of groans and pain

You'll spend your days in sorrow if

G7 C

You ride that devil's train

Oh listen to that whistle scream

Like echoes from the blue

The throttle's wide and spoutin' steam

G7 C

She's on her way to doom

*CHORUS*:

Oh Lord please stop that devil's train

Before it is too late

And teach them how to bow their heads

G7 C

Before they seal their fate

The devil's train is long and black

It's beautiful to see

It offers you temptation but

G7 C

It brings you mis-ery

So come and ride that glorious train

Where happiness is free

It's on its way to heaven now

G7 C

To spend eter-nity

*CHORUS*:

Oh Lord please stop that devil's train

Before it is too late

And teach them how to bow their heads

G7 C

Before they seal their fate
