well I caught it just in time
pullin' out of New Mexico
that's where I did my crime -
I made a man swing
from a necktie made of twine
but they'll never catch me
cause I jumped this No. 9
- it'll all be fine

Wait a minute - stop this thing
some cajun hoodoo fate -
this train is loaded down
gotta cargo full-O-hate
I axed them where it was
this speedball liner's bound
and they were laughing hyenas
as they pointed to the ground
- we're going down

Last train to heaven
what a goddam fool I been
Open up that burnin stove
for a shovel full-O-sin
Fear is the conductor
and Confusion rings the bell
All aboard the Black Diamond
- express train straight to Hell
