Little Black Train

There’s a little black train a-coming
Coming down the track
You’ve got to ride that little black train
But it ain’t a-gonna bring you back
You may be a bar-room gambler
And cheat your way through life
But you can’t cheat that little black train
Or beat this final ride
You silken bar-room ladies
Dressed in your wordly pride
You’ve got to ride that little black train
That’s coming in tonight
Your million dollar fortune
Your mansion glittering white
You can’t take it with you
When the train moves in tonight
Get ready for your saviour
Pick your business right
You’ve got to ride that little black train
To make this final ride
You silken bar-roomladies
Dressed in your worldly pride
You’ve got to ride that little black train
That’s coming in tonight
You may be a bar-room gambler
Cheat your way through life
But you can’t cheat that little black train
Or beat this final ride
There’s a little black train a-coming
Coming down the track
You’ve got to ride that little black train
But it ain’t a-gonna bring you back
