[G] [A] [G]
There's a little black train a-coming, coming down the track.
[C] You've got to ride that little black train, [D] but it ain't [G] gonna bring you back.
You may be a barroom gambler and cheat your way through life,
[C] but you can't cheat that little black [D] train or beat this [G] final ride.
[D] [G]
You silken barroom ladies dressed in your whirly pride,
[C] you've got to ride that little black [G] train, it's coming in tonight.
Your million dollar fortune, your mansion glittering white,
[C] you can't take it with you [G] when the train rolls in tonight.

[G] Get ready for your savior and fix your business right,
[C] you've got to ride that little black [D] train to [G] make this final ride.
You silken barroom ladies dressed in your whirly pride,
[C] you've got to ride that little black train, it's coming [G] in tonight.
You may be a barroom gambler and cheat your way through [C] life,
but you can't cheat that little [G] black train or beat this final ride.
There's the little black train coming, coming down the track.
[C] You've got to ride that little black train, [D] but it ain't [G] gonna bring you back.
