Little Black Train
There's a little black train a-comin',
Set your business right
There's a little black train a-comin'
And it may be here tonight
Go tell that ballroom lady
All dressed in the worldly pride
That death's dark train is comin'
Prepare to take a ride
God sent to Hezekiah
A message from on high
You'd better set your house in order
'For you must surely die
He turned to the wall and, weeping
We see him hear in tears
He got his business fixed all right
God spared him fifteen years
There's a little black train a-comin',
Set your business right
There's a little black train a-comin'
And it may be here tonight
See that train with engine?
And one small baggage car
Your idle thoughts and wicked deeds
Will stop at the judgment bar
Oh, the man in darkness
Cares not for the gospel light
Till he suddenly heard the whistle blow
With the little black train in sight
There's a little black train a-comin',
Set your business right
There's a little black train a-comin'
And it may be here tonight.
Set your business right
There's a little black train a-comin'
And it may be here tonight
Go tell that ballroom lady
All dressed in the worldly pride
That death's dark train is comin'
Prepare to take a ride
God sent to Hezekiah
A message from on high
You'd better set your house in order
'For you must surely die
He turned to the wall and, weeping
We see him hear in tears
He got his business fixed all right
God spared him fifteen years
There's a little black train a-comin',
Set your business right
There's a little black train a-comin'
And it may be here tonight
See that train with engine?
And one small baggage car
Your idle thoughts and wicked deeds
Will stop at the judgment bar
Oh, the man in darkness
Cares not for the gospel light
Till he suddenly heard the whistle blow
With the little black train in sight
There's a little black train a-comin',
Set your business right
There's a little black train a-comin'
And it may be here tonight.
