Old Black Train

There's an old black train a-coming
Scrapin' 'long the iron
You don't need no ticket, boys
It'll take you when its time

Now, come on, now
Weren't you someone's son
How'd you find this depot?
'Cause it ain't where you belong

You will pass a graveyard
Stones worn by the years
The train'll stop a minute
But don't let it leave you here

Well, the coachman is my brother
The engineer's my friend
They'll get you more acquainted
By the time you reach the end

This journey is a long one
It'll take you all around
Life rushing by your windows
Before it lays you down

Now, where's this old train going
You can't come back
Leave your baggage here
Because we'll need it when you're gone
