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 |
