G5
There's a little black train a-coming

Coming down the track
C5
You gotta ride that little black train
       D5                       G5
But it ain't a-gonna bring you back

You may be a barroom gambler
And cheat your way through life
But you can't cheat that little black train
Or beat this final ride

You silken barroom ladies
dressed in your worldly pride
C5
You`ve got to ride that little black train
G5
That`s coming in tonight

Your million dollar fortune
Your mansion glittering white
C5
You can`t take it with you
         G5
When the train rolls in tonight

Get ready for your savior
And fix your business right
You`ve got to ride that little black train
To make this final ride

You silken barroom ladies
dressed in your worldly pride
C5
You`ve got to ride that little black train
                 G5
That`s coming in tonight

You may be a barroom gambler
Cheat your way through life
C5
But you can`t cheat that little black train
   G5
Or beat this final ride

There`s a little black train a-coming
Coming down the track
You`ve got to ride that little black train
but it ain`t a-gonna bring you back
