This train ain’t the Chattanooga choo choo
And it sure ain’t the City of New Orleans
And this train ain’t bound for Glory Land
No sir, no sir, no sir reeee
This train This train This train This Train
Is bound for Purgatory
Cattle cars filled with the dredges of society
Free ride for those who did the crimes
Now gonna live forever and do the time
Way down down down in the Devils Land
Soon we’ll be passing over the River Styx
We’re gettin hotter and hotter and hotter
We’ll be pullin into the Hades station
Satan’s gonna be there to shake all y’alls hands
Brothers and the sisters you had a chance
A chance to ask for forgiveness
Too late now to make amends
Too too late too
This train too late
Fire and brimstone now’s your fate
Too too late It’s too too late
This train this train this train this train
ain’t bound for Gloryland gloryland
This train this train this train this train
Is bound for Purgatory yes purgatory
And for sure this train is one train
that sisters and brothers you don’t want
a ticket to ride
A TICKET TO RIDE
