Little Black Train

Lyrics

[Verse] God sent to Hezekiah The message from on high You better set your house in order For you must surely die He turned to the wall in weeping We see him there in tears He got his business fixed all right God spared him fifteen years [Chorus] There's a little black train a-coming Fix all your business right That little black train a-coming And it may be here tonight [Verse] Go tell that ballroom lady All dressed in-a worldly pride That death's dark train's a-coming Prepare to take a ride I see that train with еngine And one small baggage car Your idlе thoughts and your wicked deeds Will stop at the judgment bar [Chorus] There's a little black train a-coming Fix all your business right That little black train a-coming Prepare to take a ride [Verse] That poor young man in darkness Cared not for the gospel's light Til suddenly he heard the whistle blow And the little black train in sight Oh, Lord, will you not spare me? I see my wicked plight Have mercy, Lord, upon me Please come and set me right But death had fixed its shackles Upon his soul so tight Before he got his business fixed The little black train in sight [Chorus] There's a little black train a-coming Fix all your business right That little black train a-coming And it may be here tonight
