The ghost train in the sky

An engineer went ridin' out one dark and windy day Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way When all at once a mighty train of burning steel he saw A-plowin' through the ragged sky and up a cloudy draw  Yippie i ay Yippie i oh The ghost train in the sky  It's stack was on fire and it's axles were steaming It's wheels were shining and it's hot steam he could feel A bolt of fear went through him as it thundered through the sky For he saw the engineers inside, and he heard their mournful cry  Yippie i ay Yippie i oh The ghost train in the sky  Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat They're ridin' on that train to their goal but they 'aint stopped yet 'Cuz they've gotta ride forever through that land up in the sky On a train that's on fire, as they ride on, hear their cry  Yippie i ay Yippie i oh The ghost train in the sky  As the the loped on by him, he heard a engineer call his name If you wanna save your soul from hell A-ridin' on this train Then engineer change your ways today or with us you will ride A-ridin on the devils train across these endless skies  Yippie i ay Yippie i oh The ghost train in the sky The ghost train in the sky
