G+G
There's a little black train a-coming
Coming down the track
C majorC
You gotta ride that little black train
D MajorD G+G
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
C majorC
You've got to ride that little black train
G+G
That's coming in tonight
Your million dollar fortune
Your mansion glittering white
C majorC
You can't take it with you
G+G
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
C majorC
You've got to ride that little black train
G+G
That's coming in tonight
You may be a barroom gambler
Cheat your way through life
C majorC
But you can't cheat that little black train
G+G
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
