Lyrics Old Black Train - Over the Garden Wall, Justin Rubenstein

Old Black Train

There’s an old black train a-coming
Scraping along the iron
You don’t need no ticket boys
It will take you when its time
Oh come on now young stranger
Weren’t you someone’s son?
How’d you find this depot
'Cause it ain’t where you belong
You will pass a graveyard
Stones worn by the years
The train’ll stop a minute but don’t let it leave you here
Well the coachman is my brother
The engineer’s my friend
We’ll get you more acquainted by the time we reach the end
This journey is a long one
It will take you all around
Life rushing by your window
Before it lays you down
Now where this old train’s going
You can’t come back from
Leave your baggage here
Because we’ll need it when you’re gone
