Written by Woody Guthrie
(intro) G G G7 There's a little black train that's coming, coming down the track, C D G you gotta ride that little black train, but it ain't gonna bring you back. G G7 You may be a barroom gambler, and cheat your way through life, C D G you can't cheat that little black train or beat this final ride. G G7 You silken barroom ladies, dressed in your worldly pride, C D G you gotta ride that little black train, it's coming in tonight. G G7 Your million dollar fortune, your mansion glittering white, C D G you can't take it with you, when the train rolls in tonight. G G7 Get ready for your savior, and fix your business right, C D G you gotta ride that little black train to make this final ride. G G7 You silken barroom ladies, dressed in your worldly pride, C D G you gotta ride that little black train, and it's coming in tonight. G G7 You may be a barroom gambler, cheat your way through life, C D G you can't cheat that little black train or beat this final ride. G G7 There's a little black train that's coming, coming down the track, C D G you gotta ride that little black train, but it ain't gonna bring you back.
