This Train is Bound for Glory

Woody Guthrie

Transposer:

This train is bound for glory, this train. This train is bound for glory, this train. This train is bound for glory, Don't carry nothing 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, Liars, thieves, nor big shot ramblers, This train is bound for glory, 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, She's streamlined and a midnight flyer, This train don't carry no liars, this train. This train don't carry no smokers, this train; This train don't carry no smokers, this train This train don't carry no smokers, Two bit liars, small time jokers, This train don't carry no smokers, this train. This train don't carry no con men, this train; This train don't carry no con men, this train; This train don't carry no con men, No wheeler dealers, here and gone men, This train don't carry no con men, this train. This train don't carry no rustlers, this train; This train don't carry no rustlers, this train; This train don't carry no rustlers, Sidestreet walkers, two bit hustlers, This train is bound for glory, this train.

Cette chanson évoque un train qui se dirige vers un avenir glorieux, transportant uniquement des âmes pures et justes. Elle insiste sur le fait que ceux qui ont des vices, comme les menteurs, les voleurs ou les escrocs, n'ont pas leur place à bord. Chaque couplet souligne l'absence de différents types de personnes considérées comme indésirables, renforçant l'idée d'une collectivité vertueuse en route vers la rédemption. Dans un contexte plus large, cette musique reflète des thèmes de justice et de moralité, caractéristiques de l'époque de Woody Guthrie, marquée par la lutte pour les droits civiques et une quête d'espoir en des jours meilleurs. C'est un hymne à la pureté et à la solidarité, se positionnant comme un appel à une vie plus honorable.
