My engine was pumpin' steam
And I was grindin' at you hard, too fast
I was burnin' down the rail, with the heat, the weight
Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track
And I laughin' at the conductor who was tellin' me
my coal would never last
When the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
There ain't no empty cellar
Need a gone dead train
Once was at a time when I could Mama shave 'em dry
And raise a fever on ice-down chill
Waitin' at the station with the heavy loaded sack
Savin' up and holdin' just to spill
Shootin' the supply from my demon's eye
Instead of waitin' for a time to hope I will
When the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
There ain't no empty cellar
Need a gone dead train
Yes, a gone dead train
You got to help it to burn
You know it's a gone dead train
You got to teach it to learn
There ain't no easy way
When a daily run a downhill pull
And there ain't no easy day
Wishin' for some jelly roll
There ain't no switch been made, you let a juicy lemon find
A spring to run a dry well full
And the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
There ain't no empty cellar
Need a gone dead train
Yes, a gone dead train
You got to help me to burn
You know it's a gone dead train
You got to teach it to learn
You know it's a gone dead train
You got to help me to burn
You know it's a gone dead train
You got to help me to learn
Baby, it's a gone dead train
Yes, a gone dead train

Poor white hound dog
Hold on, hold on, yeah
Gonna screw him down, way underground
Look at his eyes, grey as brown
Hangin' a white dog, a whoo
Ooh
Black cat, all the time hold his tongue, ooh
