[C] There's a little black train that's coming, coming 
down the track
[F] You gotta ride that little black train 
And it [C] ain't gonna [G] bring you [C] back

[C] You may be a barroom gambler, cheat your way through 
life
[F] You can't cheat that little black train 
Or [C] beat this [G] final [C] ride

[C] You silken barroom ladies, dressed in your worldly 
pride
[F] You gotta ride that little black train

[C] Your million dollar fortune, mansion glittering wife
[F] You can't take it with you
When the [C] train rolls [G] in to- [C]night

Get ready for your savior, fix your business right
You gotta ride that little black train
That's coming in to- [C]night

There's a little black train that's coming, coming down 
the track
You gotta ride that little black train 
And it ain't gonna bring you back
