Down There By The Train |
| There’s a place I know where the train goes slow |
| Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb |
| There’s a river by the trestle down by sinner’s grove |
| Down where the willow and the dogwood grow |
| You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell |
| From the halls of heaven to the gates of hell |
| And there’s room for the forsaken if you’re there on time |
| You’ll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes |
| If you’re down there by the train |
| Down there by the train |
| Down there by the train |
| Down there by the train |
| Down there where the train goes slow |
| There’s a golden moon that shines up through the mist |
| And I know that your name can be on that list |
| There’s no eye for an eye, there’s no tooth for a tooth |
| I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth |
| They were down there by the train |
| Down there by the train |
| Down there by the train |
| Down there by the train |
| Down there where the train goes slow |
| If you’ve lost all your hope, if you’ve lost all your faith |
| I know you will be cared for and I know you will be safe |
| And all of the shameful and all of the wheres |
| Even the soldier who pierced the heart of the Lord |
| Is down there by the train |
| Down there by the train |
| Down there by the train |
| Down there by the train |
| Down there where the train goes slow |
| Well, I’ve never asked forgiveness, never said a prayer |
| I’ve never given of myself, never truly cared |
| And I’ve left the ones who loved me and I’m still raising Cain |
| I’ve taken the low road and if you’ve done the same |
| Meet me down there by the train |
| Down there by the train |
| Down there by the train |
| Down there by the train |
| Down there where the train goes slow |
