GONE DEAD TRAIN As recorded by Crazy Horse (From the 1971 Album CRAZY HORSE) [Intro] [Verse 1] My engine was pumpin’ steam And I was grindin’ at you hard and fast I was burnin’ down the rails tryin’ to heat the way Haulin’ ass and ridin’ up the track So 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 It ain’t no empty cellar Like a gone dead train [Verse 2] Once was at a time when I could Mama shave ’em dry And raise a fever ice-down chill And 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 [Chorus] Yes it’s a gone dead train I’m gonna teach it to learn now now It’s a gone dead train Yes it’s a gone dead train I’m gonna teach it to learn now now [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] There ain’t no easy day When your daily run’s a downhill pull And there ain’t no easy way 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 There ain’t no empty cellar Needs a gone dead train [Out-Chorus] You know it’s a gone dead train I’m gonna teach it to learn You know it’s a gone dead train Gonna teach it gonna teach it to burn It’s a gone dead train It’s a gone dead train you gotta learn You know it’s a gone dead train Gonna teach it gonna teach it gonna teach it to burn You know it’s a gone dead train Gonna teach it to burn You know it’s a gone dead train Gonna teach it gonna teach it gonna teach it to burn You know it’s a gone dead train
