Down There By The Train lyrics

There`s a place I know where the train goes slow Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb There`s a river by the trestle down by sinner`s grove Down where the willow and the dogwood grow

You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell From the halls of heaven to the gates of hell And there`s room for the forsaken if you`re there on time You`ll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes If you`re down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow

There`s a golden moon that shines up through the mist And I know that your name can be on that list There`s no eye for an eye, there`s no tooth for a tooth I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth He was down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train He was down there where the train goes slow

If you`ve lost all your hope, if you`ve lost all your faith I know you can be cared for and I know you can be safe And all the shamefuls and all of the whores And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord Is down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow

Well, I`ve never asked forgiveness and I`ve never said a prayer Never given of myself, never truly cared I`ve left the ones who loved me and I`m still raising Cain I`ve taken the low road and if you`ve done the same Meet me down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow

Meet me down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow
