Gone Dead Train (Album Version)

Gone Dead Train - Crazy Horse

My engine was pumpin' steam

And I was grindin' at you hard and fast

Burnin' down the rails tryin' to heat the way

Haulin' a** 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

I'm gonna teach it to learn now now

There ain't no easy way

When your daily run's a downhill pull

And there ain't no easy day

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 now

You know it's a gone dead train

Gonna teach it to learn now

You know it's a gone dead train

Gonna teach it to burn

You know it's a gone dead train

Gonna teach it to learn now

You know it's a gone dead train

Gonna teach it to burn now

You know it's a gone dead train

Gonna teach it to burn now

You know it's a gone dead train

Gonna teach it to burn now
