GUEST,John Hernandez Lyr Req: Little Black Train (Woody Guthrie) (12) RE: lyrics req. 'LITTLE BLACK TRAIN' 04 Feb 03


As I recall Woody's verses:

There's a little black train a-coming,
A-coming down the track,
You gotta ride that little black train,
But it ain't gonna bring you back.

You might be a barroom gambler,
And bluff your way through life,
But you can't bluff that little black train,
Or beat that final ride.

You silken ballroom ladies,
Dressed in your worldly pride,
You gotta ride that little black train,
And take that final ride.

Your million dollar fortune,
Your mansions gleaming white,
You can't take them with you,
When that train rolls into sight.

So get ready for your Savior,
Fix all your business right,
For you gotta ride that little black train,
It might be here tonight.
