Little Black Train

[Verse]
God sent to Hezekiah
The message from on high
You better set your house in order
For you must surely die

He turned to the wall in weeping
We see him there in tears
He got his business fixed all right
God spared him fifteen years

[Chorus]
There's a little black train a-coming
Fix all your business right
That little black train a-coming
And it may be here tonight

[Verse]
Go tell that ballroom lady
All dressed in-a worldly pride
That death's dark train's a-coming
Prepare to take a ride

I see that train with еngine
And one small baggage car
Your idlе thoughts and your wicked deeds
Will stop at the judgment bar

[Chorus]
There's a little black train a-coming
Fix all your business right
That little black train a-coming
Prepare to take a ride

[Verse]
That poor young man in darkness
Cared not for the gospel's light
Til suddenly he heard the whistle blow
And the little black train in sight

Oh, Lord, will you not spare me?
I see my wicked plight
Have mercy, Lord, upon me
Please come and set me right

But death had fixed its shackles
Upon his soul so tight
Before he got his business fixed
The little black train in sight

[Chorus]
There's a little black train a-coming
Fix all your business right
That little black train a-coming
And it may be here tonight
