Well, we had a cabin way back in the wood

We lived as close to the mountain as we could

The full moon shone, you could watch it rolling by

All made of smoke like a rider in the sky

Crack go the whip, faster goes the wagon

Snake through the knots like the Devil's magic dragon

I can hear 'em crying "God's not to blame!"

The soul of the damned riding on the ghost train

On the ghost train

On the ghost train

We were doing good just to be alive

There was gold on the track coming down the mountainside

The whistle don't blow, the train won't roll

My mom and dad's living in a six foot hole

Crack go the whip, faster goes the wagon

Snake through the knots like the Devil's magic dragon

I can hear 'em crying "God's not to blame!"

The soul of the damned riding on the ghost train

On the ghost train

On the ghost train
