I've been over the valley I've been over the plains I'm a traveling man But when I get home I'll ride that devil train I've been over the mountains I've seen thunder and rain But when I'm all alone And I set for a spell I'll ride that devil train Ride (ride), ride (ride) Ride the devil train Ride (ride), ride (ride) Ride the devil train He's very clever and cunning He'll promise life without pain But if you don't feel pain Brother you ain't alive And you're riding that devil train I'll save you a seat little darling I'll save you a seat next to me It's a long way down It's a rough ride down You can't get off, don't you see Ride (ride), ride (ride) Ride the devil train Ride (ride), ride (ride) Ride the devil train You're pushing too hard You're pushing too hard You're pushing too hard, can't you see? So baby stop shoving I'll give you some loving I'll save you a seat next to me No whiskey tasting 'Cause time is a-wasting And baby we're feeling okay It's a rough ride down It's a long way down Riding the devil train
