Key of A
Verse one:
(A) Come and listen won't you brother,
Have you heard or don't you know,
There's a train that's bound for glory,
Will you (E7) ride it when it (A) goes.
(A) Has your ticket yet been purchased for that Glory bound train,
Oh will you ride, **(that Glory bound train),
Oh will you ride, **(that Glory bound train),
Will you ride that train to (E7) Glory bye and (A) bye.
**(Note: harmony singers add this line each time)
Verse two:
Have you made all preparations,
Reservations all complete,
When you hear that whistle blowing,
Will you be there at your seat.

Oh the headlight will be gleamin', Jesus is the engineer,
Will you ride his train to glory, or will he leave you here.

Verse four:
When it's golden bell starts ringin', swinging on that golden cord,
Will you have your ticket ready when you hear that, All Aboard.
Repeat chorus:
Verse five:
When you hear it in the distance, hear it's mighty drivers roll,
Just a little while to tarry, then we'll walk the streets of gold.
