The Gospel Train (Get On Board)    (1872)

The gospel train is a-coming
I hear it just at hand
I hear the car wheels rumbling
And a rolling through the land
Oh get on board little children
Get on board little children
Get on board little children
There's room for many a more

I hear the train a-coming
A-coming around the curve
She loosened all her steam and brakes
She's straining every nerve
Oh get on board little children
Get on board little children
Get on board little children
There's room for many a more

The fare is cheap and all can go
The rich and poor are there
No second class aboard this train
No difference in the fare
Oh get on board little children
Get on board little children
Get on board little children
There's room for many a more

Oh get on board little children
Get on board little children
Get on board little children
There's room for many a more

Lyrics by unknown.
