Little Black Train - Carlene Carter

There’s a little black train a-comin'

Comin' down the track

You gotta ride that little black train

But it ain’t a gonna bring you back

You may be a bar-room gambler

And cheat your way through life

You can’t cheat that little black train

Or beat this final ride

You silken bar-room ladies

Dressed in your worldly pride

You’ve gotta ride that little black train

That’s comin' in the night

Your million dollar fortune

Your mansion glittering white

You can’t take it with you

When the train moves in the night

Get ready for your savior

And fix your business right

You’ve got to ride that little black train

That makes this final ride

You silken bar-room ladies

Dressed in your worldly pride

You’ve gotta ride that little black train

That’s comin' in the night

You may be a bar-room gambler

And cheat your way through life

You can’t cheat that little black train

Or beat this final ride

There’s a little black train a-comin'

Comin' down the track

You gotta ride that little black train

But it ain’t a gonna bring you back
