The Gospel train'sa comin'
I hear its just at hand
I hear the car wheels rumblin'
And rolling thru the land
Get on board, little children
Get on board, little children
Get on board, little children
There's room for many mo
I hear the train a-comin'
She's a-comin' round the curve
She's loosened all her steam and brakes
And strainin every nerve
The fare is cheap and all can go
The rich and poor are there
No second class aboard this train
No difference in the fare
[harmonica sounding like a train]
