Lyrics:
[CHORUS]There's a little black train a-comin',Set your business rightThere's a little black train a-comin'And it may be here tonightGo tell that ballroom ladyAll dressed in the worldly prideThat death's dark train is comin'Prepare to take a rideGod sent to HezekiahA message from on highYou'd better set your house in orderFor you must surely dieHe turned to the wall and, weepingWe see him hear in tearsHe got his business fixed all rightGod spared him fifteen years[CHORUS AND INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]We see that train with engineAnd one small baggage carYour idle thoughts and wicked deedsWill stop at the judgment bar [CHORUS AND INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]That poor young man in darknessCares not for the gospel lightTill suddenly heard the whistle blowWith the little black train in sight'Have mercy on me, LordPlease come and set me right'Before he got his business fixedThe train rolled in that night[CHORUS AND INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
