Down There By the Train

There's a place I know where the train goes slow Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb There's a river by the trestle down by Sinner's Grove Down where the willow and the dogwood grow Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train - goes - slow you can hear the whistle you can hear the bell from the halls of heaven to the gates of hell there's room for the foresaken if you're there on time you'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes down there by the train down there by the train down there by the train down there by the train down there where the train goes slow there's a golden moon that shines up through the mist I know that your name will be on that list There's no eye for an eye there's no tooth for a tooth I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth down there by the train down there by the train down there by the train down there by the train down there where the train goes slow so if you live in darkness if you live in shame all of the passengers will be treated the same old Humpty Jackson and Gyp the Blood will sing Charlie Whitman is on the Dillinger's wings down there by the train down there by the train down there by the train down there by the train down there where the train goes slow if you've lost all your hope if you've lost all your faith I know you will be cared for I know you will be safe all the shameful and all of the whores even the soldier who pierced the heart of the lord is down there by the train down there by the train down there by the train down there by the train down there by the train down there where the train goes slow well I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer I've never given of myself I've never truly cared I've hurt the ones who loved me I'm still raising cain I've taken the low road and if you've done the same meet me down there by the train down there by the train down there by the train down there by the train down there by the train down there where the train goes slow
