Little Black Train

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
