Come all you good people if you want to hear
The story about a bad engineer
He ran a train on the hell-bound road
And every car had a heavy load
How the engine with murder his blood was damp
Headlight was a big brimstone lamp
The boiler was filled with whiskey and beer
The Devil himself was the engineer
The pa**engers they were all corporate rats
Lawyers, politicians, bureaucrats
The double crossed men and they swore and stole
Not a one hasn't purchased his body and soul
Now the train flew on at an awful paste
The brimstone burned both their hands and face
The wilder and wilder that country groove
As faster and faster that engine flew
Well he blowed the whistle and he rang the bell
"Ha! Ha!", cried the Devil, "The next stop's Hell"
Oh how the pa**engers shrieked with pain
And begged the Devil to stop the train
Now you robbed the weak, you cheated the poor
Your starving brother you turned from the door
You laid up gold until your purses burst
And paid free play to your beastly lusts
Well you murdered and you cheated, you plundered and lied
You mocked at God in your hell-bound pride
You beg and you plead and you pray by the hour
You'll be saved from Hell and the Devil's power
So come and give your hand to the Lord
Reach out and take his hand
Come today and follow the Savior
He'll lead you safely to the Promised Land
