Well that gospel train is a' comin' Comin' right down the track That gospel train is a' comin' Comin' right down the track And when that train leaves the station I can tell you right now it's never comin' back You may think your train ain't a' comin' 'Till at least a quarter past nine You may think your train ain't a' comin' 'Till at least a quarter past nine But by the time you reach the platform You'll find out you've been left behind Well the train used to rule this country It used to be the only way to go
But we've left the engineer behind these days We think we've found a better way to go But on that day whether the track's laid He'll be comin' over ice and snow Well that gospel train is a' comin' Comin' right down the track That gospel train is a' comin' Comin' right down the track And when that train leaves the station I can tell you right now it's never comin' back They said it moves too slow, it moves too slow They said it moves too slow, it moves too slow Oh... what do they know?
