This train is a clean train, you know, this train
This train is a clean train, I said, this train
This train is a clean train, everybody riding in Jesus' name
Because this train is a clean train, oh, this train

This train has left the station, you know, this train
This train has left the station, I said, this train
This train has left the station and this train takes on every nation
Because this train is a clean train, you know, this train

It's the prettiest train I ever have seen, oh, this train
It's the prettiest train I ever have seen, oh, this train
It's the prettiest train I ever have seen
But if you want to ride it, you better get redeemed
Because this train is a clean train, oh, this train

This train is bound for glory, this train
This train is bound for glory, I said, this train
This train is bound for glory, everybody riding her must be holy
Because this train is a clean train, you know, this train

You know, this train don't pull no jokers, I'm on this train
This train don't pull no jokers, no, this train
I said, this train don't pull no jokers
No tobacco chewers and no cigar smokers
Because this train is a clean train, you know, this train

This train don't pull no weight 'cause I'm on this train
This train don't pull no weight 'cause I'm on this train
This train don't pull no weight 'cause no prop shooter to no whisky drinker
Because this train is a clean train, this train
