Down There By The Train Lyrics

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
