From the recording 2. Black Train
Lyrics
Black train coming It won’t come for me Black train coming It won’t come for me The wolves are at my door Got the devil by my side If I see that train I’m gonna run and hide Black train coming But it won’t come for me Black train coming Coming around the bend Black train coming Coming around the bend This world’s as sweet as honey I don’t want to die I can’t live forever But I’m surely gonna try Black train coming But it won’t come for me Black train coming Hear that lonesome whistle blow Black train coming Hear that lonesome whistle blow If you want to get to heaven Got to hit your knees and pray I’ll take my baby’s loving Over heaven any day Black train coming But it won’t come for me Black train coming Pass that whiskey bottle ‘round Black train coming Pass that whiskey bottle ‘round When you get to heaven The streets are paved with gold But if there ain’t no whiskey Then heaven’s too damn cold Black train coming But it won’t come for me
