Little Black Train chords by Carlene Carter

Chorus:

A
There's a little black train a-comin'

A
Set your business right

A
There's a little black train a-comin'

A      E      D      A
And it may be here tonight

Verse:

A
Go tell that ballroom lady

A
All dressed in the worldly pride

A
That death's dark train is comin'

A    E        D     A
Prepare to take a ride


A
God sent to Hezekiah

A
A message from on high

A
You'd better set your house in order

A    E        D      A
'For you must surely die


A
He turned to the wall and, weeping

A
We see him hear in tears

A
He got his business fixed all right

A     E        D       A
God spared him fifteen years

Chorus:

A
There's a little black train a-comin'

A
Set your business right

A
There's a little black train a-comin'

A       E      D       A
And it may be here tonight


A
See that train with engine?

A
And one small baggage car

A
Your idle thoughts and wicked deeds

A     E           D       A
Will stop at the judgment bar


A
Oh, the man in darkness

A
Cares not for the gospel light

A
Till he suddenly heard the whistle blow

A         E            D        A
With the little black train in sight

Chorus:

A
There's a little black train a-comin'

A
Set your business right

A
There's a little black train a-comin'

A       E      D      A
And it may be here tonight
