Dock Boggs - Little Black Train lyrics

God sent to Hezekiah A 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 There's a little black train a-coming Fix all 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 d**h's dark train is coming Prepare to take a ride I see that train with engine And one small baggage car Your idle thoughts and your wicked deeds Will stop at the judgement bar There's a little black train a-coming Fix all your business right There's a little black train a-coming Prepare to take a ride That poor young man in darkness Cared not for the gospel light Till 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 d**h had fixed its shackles Upon his soul so tight Before he got his business fixed The little black train in sight There's a little black train a-coming Fix all your business right There's a little black train a-coming And it may be here tonight
