[00:00.00]Down Bound Train - Chuck Berry (查克·贝里)
[00:15.48]A stranger lying on a bar room floor
[00:18.78]Had drank so much he could drink no more
[00:22.00]And so he fell asleep with a troubled brain
[00:25.36]To dream that he rode on that down bound train
[00:34.11]The engine with blood was sweaty and damp
[00:37.37]And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp
[00:40.86]And imps for fuel were shoveling bones
[00:44.22]While the furnace rang with a thousand groans
[00:52.95]The boiler was filled with lager beer
[00:55.82]The devil himself was the engineer
[00:59.48]The passengers were most a Motley Crew
[01:02.69]Some were foreigners and others he knew
[01:06.20]Rich men in broadcloth beggars in rags
[01:09.59]Handsome young ladies and wicked old hags
[01:33.95]As the train rushed on at a terrible pace
[01:37.74]Sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face
[01:41.10]Wider and wider the country grew
[01:44.50]Faster and faster the engine flew
[01:47.94]Louder and louder the thunder crashed
[01:51.42]Brighter and brighter the lighting flashed
[01:55.06]Hotter and hotter the air became
[01:58.15]Till their clothes were burned
[01:59.65]And they were screaming with pain
[02:01.65]Then out of the distance there came a yell
[02:05.01]Ha ha said the devil we're nearing home
[02:09.36]Oh how the passengers shrieked with pain
[02:12.25]And begged old Satan to stop that train
[02:20.74]The stranger awoke with an anguished cry
[02:24.04]His clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high
[02:27.53]He fell on his knees on the bar room floor
[02:30.88]And prayed a prayer like never before
[02:42.88]And the prayers and vows were not in vain
[02:47.98]For he never rode that down bound train
