This Train                                                 Big Bill Broonzy


This train don't carry no gambles, this train,
This train don't carry no gambles, this train,
This train don't carry no gambles,
No whiskey drinkers, and no high flyers,
This train carry no gambles, this train.

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 nothing, but the righteous an' the holy,
This train bound for glory, this train.

This train don't carry no liars, this train,
This train don't carry no liars, this train,
This train don't carry no liars,
No hypocrites and no high flyers,
This train don't carry no liars, this train.

This train is built for speed, boy, this train,
This train is built for speed, now, this train,
This train is built for speed,
Fastest train you ever did see
Now, this train is built for speed, boy, this train.

This train is solid black, oh, this train,
This train is solid black, oh, this train,
This train is solid black,
When you go there you don't come back,
Oh, this train is built for glory, this train.

This train don't fit no trasportation on this train,
This train don't fit no trasportation on this train,
This train, you know, don't fit no trasportation,
No Jim Crow and no discrimination on
This train is bound for glory, this train.

This train don't care if you white or black on this train,
This train don't care if you white or black on this train,
This train don't care if you white or black,
Everybody's treat'd just like a man,
This train is bound for glory, this train.

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 nothing but the righteous an' a holy,
This train is bound for glory, this train.

This train,
This train,
This train.
