Little Black Train Lyrics - Carter Girl - Carlene Carter

There's a little black train a-comin', 

Set your business right 

There's a little black train a-comin' 

And it may be here tonight 

Go tell that ballroom lady 

All dressed in the worldly pride 

That death's dark train is comin' 

Prepare to take a ride 

God sent to Hezekiah 

A message from on high 

You'd better set your house in order 

'For you must surely die

He turned to the wall and, weeping 

We see him hear in tears 

He got his business fixed all right 

God spared him fifteen years 

There's a little black train a-comin', 

Set your business right 

There's a little black train a-comin' 

And it may be here tonight 

See that train with engine? 

And one small baggage car 

Your idle thoughts and wicked deeds 

Will stop at the judgment bar 

Oh, the man in darkness 

Cares not for the gospel light 

Till he suddenly heard the whistle blow 

With the little black train in sight
