TRAIN TO HELL
WORDS & MUSIC: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY
ROOF MUSIC / WARNER CHAPPELL, 1990
Everybody’s heard the story about the downbound train
It’s the train you’re bound to ride on when the devil calls your name
And when you go on down there to the land of eternal pain
Where the evil one is sitting on throne of burning flames
You’ll ride the train to hell
Ride the train to hell
Ride the train to hell
Tortured souls, fiery rain, once you got there you’ll never come back
Down there you’ll meet the sinners who parade the lost highway
And there they stand and wait until it’s their turn to pay
For all the tears and sorrows they’ve caused throughout their lives
When you hear that cashbox number you know you’re there to pay the price
And ride the train to hell
Ride the train to hell
Ride the train to hell
Tortured souls, fiery rain, once you got there you’ll never come back
Sunrays break through the darkness as you return from dreams
And now you start to think about all your evil schemes
And now that you remember all the precious vows you’ve broken
The chills run down your spine when you think about that call
For the long black train to hell
Long black train to hell
Long black train to hell
Tortured souls, fiery rain, once you got there you’ll never come back
And ride the train to hell
Ride the train to hell
Ride the train to hell
Tortured souls, fiery rain, once you got there you’ll never come back again
