White Train

Well I thought I heard the devil

He was callin' me by name

And like a fool I answered, like a fool I came

But what he had to offer me

Was the same old played out stuff

So I shook my head and I said

No thanks, I believe I've had enough

Well, the white train takin' me to heaven

White train shiny like a sword

White train is the only good train

Everybody get on board

Well the white train is a diesel

Pullin' sixteen cars behind

And it stops at every station

For those who wanna ride

Yeah, the conductor he is a good man

And the engineer is a saint

And the porters all have the time of day

And me I can't complain

Well, the white train takin' me to heaven

White train shiny like a sword

White train is the only good train

Everybody get on board

Well there's always people gettin' on

And gettin' off and gettin' on

And changin' seats and washin' up

Before they know the train is gone

Well there's always people gettin' on

And gettin' off and gettin' on

And changin' seats and washin' up

Before they know it's gone

Before they know it's long gone

Well I thought I saw the devil

By the siding of the track

And he shook his fist as the train went past

But I never did look back

Well, the white train takin' me to heaven

White train shiny like a sword

White train is the only good train

Everybody get on board

Well I saw my true love

She was wavin' me goodbye

There were teardrops at the station

But I'll see her bye and bye
