Chorus:
This train is bound for glory, this train.
This train is bound for glory, this train.
This train is bound for glory,
Nobody rides it but the righteous and the holy.
This train is bound for glory, this train.

This train don't carry no gamblers, this train;
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train;
This train don't carry no gamblers,
No crap shooters and the midnight ramblers
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train.

This train don't carry no jokers, this train;
This train don't carry no jokers, this train;
This train don't carry no jokers,
No high-toned women and them ci-gar smokers,
This train don't carry no jokers, this train.

This train don't carry no liars, this train;
This train don't carry no liars, this train;
This train don't carry no liars,
No sidestreet walkers, midnight flyers,
This train don't carry no liars, this train.

This train is the last train, this train;
This train is the last train, this train;
This train is the last train,
Get on board, she ain't coming back again,
This train is the last train, this train.
