Woody Guthrie : |
|
Little Black |
|
Train There's a little black train a-coming, |
|
Coming down the track. |
|
You've got to 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, |
|
But you can't cheat that little black train |
|
Or beat this final ride. |
|
You silken bar-room ladies, dressed in your wordly pride. |
|
You've got to ride that little black train, |
|
That's coming in tonight. |
|
Your million dollar fortune, |
|
Your mansion glittering white, |
|
You can't take it with you |
|
When the train moves in tonight |
|
Get ready for your saviour |
|
Pick your business right. |
|
You've got to ride that little black train, |
|
To make this final ride. |
|
You silken bar-roomladies, dressed in your worldly pride, |
|
You've got to ride that little black train |
|
That's coming in tonight |
|
You may be a bar-room gambler, |
|
Cheat your way through life, |
|
But you can't cheat that little black train, |
|
Or beat this final ride. |
|
There's a little black train a-coming, |
|
Coming down the track. |
|
You've got to ride that little black train but it ain't a-gonna bring you back. |
