Here she comes! The Black Diamond Express to Hell with Sin the Engineer holding the throttle wide open; Pleasure is the headlight, and the devil is the conductor. You can feel the roaring of the express and the moanin' of the drunkards, liars, gamblers and other folk who have got aboard. They are hell-bound and they don't want to go. The train makes eleven stops but nobody can get off - Vocalion advertisement for Rev. A.W. Nix's 1927 recording Black Diamond Express to Hell

John,
It's a hillbilly tune in 3/4 time. It's from the same source as I've Still Got 99 by the Monroe Brothers, Cold Penitentiary Blues by B.F, Shelton or Poor Boy by Woody Guthrie.

Thanks very much for that information, Lightnin'.  From the way you describe it, I'm sure I would like it, because I like all of the other songs that you cite that are from the same family.  Thanks!
