Joseph Dejarnette - Little Black Train lyrics

[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
