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, no midnight ramblers,

This train don't carry no gamblers, this train.

Chorus:

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 nothin' but the righteous an' the holy

This train is bound for glory, this train.

This train goes down the track, this train,

This train goes down the track, this train,

This train goes down the track,

And once you're on board you don't come back

This train goes down the track, this train

(Chorus)

This train don't pay no transportation, this train,

This train don't pay no transportation, this train,

This train don't pay no transportation

No Jim Crow and no discrimination,

This train don't pay no transportation, this train.

(Chorus)
