[Verse 1]
God sent to Hezekiah
A message from on high
You better get your house in order
For you must surely die
[Verse 2]
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 comin'
Fix all your business right
There's a little black train a comin'
And it could be here tonight
[Verse 3]
Go tell that ball room lady
All dressed in the worldly pride
That d**h's dark train is coming
Prepare to take a ride
[Verse 4]
I see that train with engine
And one small baggage car
Your idle thoughts and wicked deeds
Will stop at the judgment bar
[Chorus]
There's a little black train a comin'
Fix all your business right
There's a little black train a comin'
And it could be here tonight
[Verse 5]
That poor young man in darkness
Cares not for the gospel light
Til suddenly he hears the whistle blow
And the little black train in sight
[Verse 6]
O Lord won't you please spare me
I see my wicked plight
Have mercy, Lord, upon me
Please come and set me right
[Verse 7]
The d**h had fixed his shackles
Upon his chain so tight
Before he got his business fixed
The train rolled in that night
[Chorus]
There's a little black train a comin'
Fix all your business right
There's a little black train a comin'
And it could be here tonight
