There's a little black train a coming Set your business right There's a little black train a coming And it may be here tonight Go tell that ballroom lady All dressed in the worldly pride That death's dark train is coming Prepare to take a ride God said to Hezikah A 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 here in tears He got his business fixed all right God spared him fifteen years There's a little black train a coming Set your business right There's a little black train a coming And it may be here tonight Go tell that ballroom lady All dressed in the worldly pride That death's dark train is coming Prepare to take a ride We see that train with engine And one small baggage car Your idle thoughts and wicked deeds Will stop at the judgement bar There's a little black train a coming Set your business right There's a little black train a coming And it may be here tonight Go tell that ballroom lady All dressed in the worldly pride That death's dark train is coming Prepare to take a ride That poor young man in darkness Cared not for the gospel light 'Til suddenly he heard the whistle blow On the little black train, and sighed "Have mercy on me, Lord Please come and set me right" Before he got his business fixed The train rolled in that night There's a little black train a coming Set your business right There's a little black train a coming And it may be here tonight Go tell that ballroom lady All dressed in the worldly pride That death's dark train is coming Prepare to take a ride
