I'm moving on the black train

The night it beats me down

I'm moving on the Black Train

I breath a soundles sound,



Riding on the Black Train



Every drop in my body moves with the train

And some of it's on the floor

I'm slippin' out to anyplace

Although I know I've been there before



Riding on the Black Train



Torn up on the Black Train

Torn from my southern home

Left a nigger lying dead by the river

Left the Will-O-the-Wisp to roam



Riding on the Black Train



I'm heat on the Black Train

A torch lighting up the night

With everything I've had and everything I've done

I still can't be satisfied,



Riding on the Black Train
