[C#]
We're gonna ride the Bible train now
No, some won't ride, but we're gonna get on the Bible train some ride, but not all [C] the way
[C#] Bible train is in the yard now and it's waiting.
Oh, it looks so good
But you might get bored and impatient waiting like those two good brothers [B] over there
[Fm] [C#] They passed around the bottle in the car before they got on the train
Just want to take one more for the road and that leads to something else
Well, they ain't on the [B] train no [C#] [C#m] and [C#] maybe nine or ten got off with
There's a sister in the church and she says to a friend
Your husband works at night and so is mine
Why don't we just get together sometime when they're gone go downtown?
Find us an action
Well, then they got to get [C#m] off the [C#] Bible train
And then another man he's sitting over [B] there looking at [C#] a woman in the corner and he gets in that high
You know and they meet later secretly
So they gotta get on this trains got a rule against adultery
And while all this is happening the train is getting ready to go
But there's a lot more to get off different reasons just before the train pulls out but listen, it's starting to move now
Listen to it
[G#] [C#] As
It leaves a man on a caboose with a long white beard says
This train is bound for this train
This train is bound [D#] for [G#] this train
[C#] This train is
[F#] The wider I look but the writers [C#] and the whole [G#m] It's found [C#] strange
This train is free train this train
This train is a free [G#] train this train
[C#] This train is a free [F#] train everybody rides in Jesus [C#] name
This train [G#] [C#m] [D#m] [C#]
don't pull the wires this train
This train don't pull the [G#] wires this train
[C#] This train don't pull no [F#] wires
The bartenders and the back [C#]-byers
[G#] Don't pull no [C#] wires this train
This train is a clean train this train
This train is a clean [G#] train this train
[C#] This train is a clean [F#] train everybody rides it in [C#] Jesus name
[G#m] the queen [C#] train do you want the right of children this [A#] holy train [C#] do you want
the right of children as [G#m] rappers get [C#] on board get on [F#] board jumbo get [C#] on board
get [G#] on board is so [C#] betray get on board get on board
[G#] [C#]
