Mile Long Train Lyrics - Jimmy Dean

Wagon train, mile-long train 

Four hundred mules, six hundred men 

They didn't know the devil was in 

This mile-long train, wagon train 

A man in black, no one knew his name 

He was a devil for sure, leading that train 

He said all you miners, mule-skinners too 

Fifteen days I'll save for you 

You see that plain, those mountains there 

I'll take you across, ha ha ha, if you dare 

Wagon train, mile-long train 

Four hundred mules, six hundred men 

They didn't know the devil was in 

This mile-long train, wagon train (hee-yah!) 

Now the only way out was the way they came in 

And the shifting sand covered tracks where they've been 

So one by one, they all died of thirst 

And the the devil just laughed, at his mile-long hearse 

That's where the name 

Death Valley began 

For there's no way out and only one way in 

Wagon train, mile-long train 

Four hundred mules, six hundred men 

They didn't know the devil was in 

This mile-long train, wagon train (hee-yah!) 

Mile-long train, wagon train (hee-yah!)
