Carlene Carter - Little Black Train lyrics

There's a little black train a-comin', Set your business right There's a little black train a-comin' And it may be here tonight Go tell that ballroom lady All dressed in the worldly pride That d**h's dark train is comin' Prepare to take a ride God sent to Hezekiah A message from on high You'd better set your house in order For you must surely die He turned to the wall and, weeping We see him hear in tears He got his business fixed all right God spared him fifteen years [Chorus and instrumental break] We see that train with engine And one small baggage car Your idle thoughts and wicked deeds Will stop at the judgment bar [Chorus and instrumental break] That poor young man in darkness Cares not for the gospel light Till suddenly heard the whistle blow With the little black train in sight "Have mercy on me, Lord Please come and set me right" Before he got his business fixed The train rolled in that night [Chorus and instrumental break]
