Little Black Train

WOODY GUTHRIE

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

You may be a bar-room gambler
And cheat your way through life
You can't cheat that little black train
Or beat this final ride.

You silken bar-room ladies,
Dressed in your worldly pride
You've gotta ride that little black train
That's comin' in the night.

Your million dollar fortune,
Your mansion glittering white
You can't take it with you
When the train moves in the night.

Get ready for your savior,
Anf fix your business right
You've got to ride that little black train
That makes this final ride.

You silken bar-room ladies,
Dressed in your worldly pride
You've gotta ride that little black train
That's comin' in the night.

You may be a bar-room gambler
And cheat your way through life
You can't cheat that little black train
Or beat this final ride.

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