This train is bound for glory, this train
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train is bound for glory
Carrying the righteous and the holy
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train;
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train;
This train don't carry no gamblers
Hypocrites nor midnight ramblers
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train don't carry no rustlers, this train;
This train don't carry no rustlers, this train;
This train don't carry no rustlers
Sidestreet walkers, two bit hustlers
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train, done carried my mother, this train;
This train, done carried my mother, this train;
This train, done carried my mother
Father sister and my brother
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train goes down the track, this train
This train goes down the track, this train
This train goes down the track
Once you're aboard you don't come back
This train is bound for glory, this train
