Lyrics
We're going ride the Bible train now
No some won't ride, but we're going get on the Bible train
Some ride but not all the way
The Bible train is in the yard now and it's waiting and oh it looks so good
But you might get bored and impatient waiting like those two good brothers over there
They pass around the bottle in the car before they got on the train
Just want to take one more for the road and then, that leads to something else
Well they aren't on the train no more and maybe 9 or 10 got off with them
There's a sister in the church and she says to her friend
Your husband works at night and so does mine
Why don't we just get together sometime when they're gone and go downtown
And find us some action
Well then they got to get off the Bible train
And then another man he's sitting over there looking at a woman in the corner
And he's gives her that eye
You know and they meet later, secretly
so they got to get off
This train's got a rule against adultery
And while all this is happening the train is getting ready to go
But there's a lot more to get off than different reasons
Just before the train pulls out, but listen it's starting to move now
Listen to it here we go
As it leaves the man on the caboose with a long white beard says
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train is bound for glory nobody rides it but the righteous and holy
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train is a free train, this train
This train is a free train, this train
This train is a free train
Everybody rides in Jesus' name
This train is a free train, this train
This train it don't pull no liars, this train
This train don't pull no liars, this train
This train don't pull no liars
No false pretenders and no backbiters
This train don't pull no liars, this train
This train is a clean train, this train
This train is a clean train, this train
This train is a clean train
Everybody rides it in Jesus name
This train is a clean train, this train
Do you want to ride it children, this holy train
Do you want to ride it children, this righteous train
Get on board (Get on board)
Get on board (Get on board)
Get on board (Get on board)
Get on board this holy train
Get on board (Get on board)
Get on board (Get on board)
Get on board (Get on board) this holy train
Writer(s): Sister Rosetta Tharpe
