Woo-oo...
Children gittin’ on a Gospel train,

De Gospel train am a-comin’,
I hear it close at han’.
I hear de car wheel rumblin’
And rollin’ through de lan’.
Chorus: Git on board, little children,
Git on board, little children,
Git on board, little children,
Dere’s room for many a more.
I hear de bell an’ whistle,
A comin’ roun’ de curve,
She’s playin’ all her power,
And strainin’ every nerve.
Chorus:
Children gittin’ on a Gospel train,
gittin’ children ona de Gospel train...

De fare is cheap an’ all can go,
De rich and poor are dere.
No second class aboard dis train,
No diffrence in de fare.
Chorus: .
Git on board, little children,
Git on board, little children,
Git on board, little children,
Dere’s room for many a more.
Children gittin’ on a Gospel train,
Gittin’ children ona de Gospel train
O children on de Gospel train.
De Gospel train am a-leavin’,
No body goes alone,
De Gospel train am a-leavin’,
She’s takin’ us on Home.
Chorus:
Children gettin’ on a Gospel train,
O this train is bound for Glory
This Gospel tra-yai-yai-yain.
