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 leadin’ 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
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 devil just laughed ha ha ha in 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
Mile long train wagon train
