Barbara's Song |
| Now come all aboard, back in 1904 |
| I was headed for the Cumberland Gap |
| When a hard summer rain |
| Brought death to my train |
| Colorado come to wash me out |
| Well the head engineer |
| Said, «Hear and hear clear |
| Better hang on and hold your cap» |
| And before I could jump |
| Well, those mighty rails sunk |
| And the whole damn bridge collapsed |
| Well, oh my |
| I’m a train in the sky |
| Sweet Lord, let me feel no fear |
| And before I go down |
| Please tell Barbara Brown |
| Well, I love you, my darling, my dear |
| Now the children were crying |
| All the luggage went flying |
| There was coal rolling everywhere |
| And there were lovers in the aisle |
| Knotted up in a pile |
| Goin' hard despite our deep despair |
| And as we tumbled away |
| To that still water grave |
| There was sorrow amongst the air |
| While the Bible was read |
| Well, I bowed down my head |
| And I prayed out my final prayer |
| Well, oh my |
| I’m a train in the sky |
| Sweet Lord, let me feel no fear |
| And before I go down |
| Please tell Barbara Brown |
| Well, I love you, my darling, my dear |
| Now I held my chest |
| And we all held our breath |
| 'Cause we was gettin' down to the end |
| And while that cold water brewed |
| The train whistle blew |
| And it sounded like a howling wind |
| And from the corner of my eye |
| I saw an angel disguised |
| As a man with a violin |
| And he sang us a song |
| It didn’t last very long |
| So we asked him to sing it again |
| Well, oh my |
| I’m a train in the sky |
| Sweet Lord, let me feel no fear |
| And before I go down |
| Please tell Barbara Brown |
| Well, I love you, my darling, my dear |
| You know I love you, my darling, my dear |
| Yes I love you, my darling, my dear |
