[Spoken]
I want to sing a song tonight
While I sing I want every sinner in the house to come into your seat, and bow and accept prayer you need some prayer
Subject of this song, Death's Black Train Is Coming, it's coming too
O the little black train is comin'
Get all your business right
You better set your house in order
For that train may be here tonight
There some men and there some women
That care nothing for the gospel light
Till they hear the bell ringing and hear the whistle blow
O the little black train in sight
O the little black train is comin'
Get all your business right
You better set your house in order
For that train may be here tonight
If you want to get on the morning train
If you want to go home and live in peace
You better have your ticket in your hand
Standing at the station
With your ticket in your hand
For that train is coming
And you're gonna join that band
O the little black train is comin'
Get all your business right
You better set your house in order
For that train may be here tonight
Death’s Black Train Is Coming was written by Traditional.
