《Down Bound Train》歌词

[00:00:00] Down Bound Train - Chuck Berry

[00:00:15] A stranger lying on a bar room floor

[00:00:18] Had drank so much he could drink no more

[00:00:22] And so he fell asleep with a troubled brain

[00:00:25] To dream that he rode on that down bound train

[00:00:34] The engine with blood was sweaty and damp

[00:00:37] And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp

[00:00:40] And imps for fuel were shoveling bones

[00:00:44] While the furnace rang with a thousand groans

[00:00:52] The boiler was filled with lager beer

[00:00:55] The devil himself was the engineer

[00:00:59] The passengers were most a Motley Crew

[00:01:02] Some were foreigners and others he knew

[00:01:06] Rich men in broadcloth beggars in rags

[00:01:09] Handsome young ladies and wicked old hags

[00:01:33] As the train rushed on at a terrible pace

[00:01:37] Sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face

[00:01:41] Wider and wider the country grew

[00:01:44] Faster and faster the engine flew

[00:01:47] Louder and louder the thunder crashed

[00:01:51] Brighter and brighter the lighting flashed

[00:01:55] Hotter and hotter the air became

[00:01:58] Till their clothes were burned

[00:01:59] And they were screaming with pain

[00:02:01] Then out of the distance there came a yell

[00:02:05] Ha ha said the devil we're nearing home

[00:02:09] Oh how the passengers shrieked with pain

[00:02:12] And begged old Satan to stop that train

[00:02:20] The stranger awoke with an anguished cry

[00:02:24] His clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high

[00:02:27] He fell on his knees on the bar room floor

[00:02:30] And prayed a prayer like never before

[00:02:42] And the prayers and vows were not in vain

[00:02:47] For he never rode that down bound train
