Train of Glory

Lyricist: Jonathan Edwards
Vocalist: John Mullins

I’ve seen that engine comin' 
Was five years ago 
She was rollin' big and black 
You shouda heard that whistle blow 
The train slowed down around the bend 
Well, I believe I'll take a ride 
Trainman get me satisfied 
Here come the train of glory 
It's comin' right on time 
Won't cha do me a favor 
Pick up my friends along the line 

Well, I'm layin' at the other end 
I got my suitcase under my head 
I take my friends a message 
Tell 'em what I said 
Tell 'em I need some money 
So I can buy a drink or two 
And ask them nice if they'll 
Come back with you 
Here come the train of glory 
It's comin' right on time 
Won't cha do me a favor 
Pick up my friends along the line 

Here come doctor 
I'm a gonna ask you once again 
Well, didn't you leave Ohio with 
A heavy load of friends 
Say yes, boy, 
Well I left the station 
Your friends were on board 
West Virginia was all they could afford 
Here come the train of glory 
It's comin' right on time 
Won't cha do me a favor 
Pick up my friends along the line
