Don't ride nothin' but the righteous an' the holy;
This train is bound for glory, this train.

This train don't carry no gamblers, this train;
This train don't carry no gamblers,
No hypocrites, no midnight ramblers;
This train is bound for glory, this train.

This train don't carry no White Supremacists, this train
This train don't carry no White Supremacists,

*This train don't carry no ICE brass, this train;
This train don't carry no ICE brass, this train;
This train don't carry no ICE brass;
