I'm on my way to the Canaan land,
I'm on my way to the Canaan land,
I'm on my way to the Canaan land,
I'm on my way, Lord, I'm on my way.
If the Devil says no, I'm gonna go anyhow,
If the Devil says no, I'm gonna go anyhow,
If the Devil says no, I'm gonna go anyhow,
I'm on my way, Lord, I'm on my way.
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train,
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train,
This train don't carry no ramblers, midnight ramblers, or crap shooters,
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, this train.
Well, this train is bound for glory, this train,
This train is bound for glory, this train,
This train is bound for glory, don't carry nothin' but the righteous and the holy,
Oh, oh, oh, Lord, this train.
(Repeat first verse)
