Here's my transcription of it:
WHEN THE GOLDEN TRAIN COMES DOWN
(B. Nolan)
All aboard (all aboard)
All aboard (all aboard)
Gonna ring the bell, gonna bid farewell
When the golden train comes down
Aha, mmm
There's a jubilee up in the sky
When the golden train comes down
With an invitation for you and I
When the golden train comes down
I'm gonna take tickets at the golden gate
Gonna dance with Peter make the angels wait
And just to be me, I think I'll be late
When the golden train comes down
All aboard (all aboard)
All aboard (all aboard)
Gonna ring the bell, gonna bid farewell
When the golden train comes down
Aha, mmm
Instrumental break
All aboard (all aboard)
All aboard (all aboard)
Gonna ring the bell, gonna bid farewell
When the golden train comes down
Aha, mmm
She'll be here soon and she'll be on time
When the golden train comes down
With her heavenly crew all lookin' fine
When the golden train comes down
So turn on your steam and let her ride
Make the devil throw coal on the old coal slide
And if he don't work hard, I'm gonna tan his hide
When the golden train comes down
All aboard (all aboard)
All aboard (all aboard)
Gonna ring the bell, gonna bid farewell
When the golden train comes down
Aha, mmm
Instrumental break
All aboard (all aboard)
All aboard (all aboard)
Gonna ring the bell, gonna bid farewell
When the golden train comes down
Aha, mmm
What a heavenly trip that's gonna be
When the golden train comes down
With the angels servin' pie and tea
When the golden train comes down
You're gonna see Gabriel as sure as you're born
Sittin' on the smokestack blowin' his horn
But he can stand up if it gets too warm
When the golden train comes down
All aboard (all aboard)
All aboard (all aboard)
Gonna ring the bell, gonna bid farewell
When the golden train comes down
Aha, mmm
