| It’s a gone dead train
|
| Yes, it’s a gone dead train
|
| My engine was pumpin' steam
|
| And I was grindin' at you hard and fast
|
| Burnin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way
|
| Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track
|
| And I laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal
|
| It would never last
|
| But then the fire in my boiler
|
| Up and quit before I came
|
| Ain’t no empty cellar
|
| Like a gone dead train
|
| Once was at a time when I could
|
| Mama shave 'em dry
|
| And raise a fever ice-down chill
|
| Waitin' at the station
|
| With a heavy loaded sack
|
| Savin' up and holdin' just to spill
|
| Shootin' my supply through my demon’s eye
|
| Instead of holdin' my time, I hope I will
|
| But then the fire in my boiler
|
| Up and quit before I came
|
| There ain’t no empty cellar
|
| Needs a gone dead train
|
| Yes it’s a gone dead train
|
| I’m gonna teach it to learn now, now
|
| It’s a gone dead train
|
| Yes it’s a gone dead train
|
| I’m gonna teach it to learn now, now
|
| It’s a gone dead train
|
| Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to learn
|
| There ain’t no easy day
|
| When your daily run’s a downhill pull
|
| And there ain’t no easy way
|
| Wishin' for some jelly roll
|
| There ain’t no switch been made
|
| To make your juicy lemon find
|
| A spring to run a dry well full
|
| But then the fire in my boiler
|
| Up and quit before I came
|
| Ain’t no empty cellar
|
| Needs a gone dead train
|
| Yes it’s a gone dead train
|
| I’m gonna teach it to learn
|
| You know it’s a gone dead train
|
| Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
|
| It’s a gone dead train
|
| It’s a gone dead train, you gotta learn
|
| It’s a gone dead train
|
| Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn |
