Lyrics

[Chorus] There's a little black train a coming Set your business right There's a little black train a coming And it may be here tonight Go tell that ballroom lady All dressed in the worldly pride That death's dark train is coming Prepare to take a ride [Verse 1] God sent to Hezikah A message from on high You better set your house in order For you must surely die [Verse 2] He turned to the wall in weeping We see him here in tears He got his business fixed all right God spared him fifteen years [Chorus] There's a little black train a coming Set your business right There's a little black train a coming And it may be here tonight Go tell that ballroom lady All dressed in the worldly pride That death's dark train is coming Prepare to take a ride [Verse 3] We see that train with engine And one small baggage car Your idle thoughts and wicked deeds Will stop at the judgement bar [Chorus] There's a little black train a coming Set your business right There's a little black train a coming And it may be here tonight Go tell that ballroom lady All dressed in the worldly pride That death's dark train is coming Prepare to take a ride [Verse 4] That poor young man in darkness Cared not for the gospel light Till suddenly he heard the whistle blow On the little black train, and sighed [Verse 5] "Have mercy on me, Lord Please come and set me right." Before he got his business fixed The train rolled in that night [Chorus] There's a little black train a coming Set your business right There's a little black train a coming And it may be here tonight Go tell that ballroom lady All dressed in the worldly pride That death's dark train is coming Prepare to take a ride
