lyrics

wont you take me over by the well let me ring the bell
my children they'll be waiting there for me
won't you pick me up so i can see
i can't stand to be alone where the angels ignore me
won't you take me on that train
take me on that train

get yourself a good spot at the rail get your bucket and a pail
wash my hair down in the stream
going to take this old disguise off my eyes
i want to be awake in the dream
won't you take me on that train
take me on that train

Let me ride to see my brother my sister my dear mother
Let me ride to see my friends
Lord, I'm never going to pass this way again

further further i drop passing by the shop where gabriel is selling his horn
your boy Obadiah is over there sleeping in a chair
naked as the day he was born
won't you take me on that train
take me on that train

Let me ride to see my brother my sister my dear mother
Let me ride to see my friends
Lord, I'm never going to pass this way again

can you see i carry no bags no tickets no tags
I've robbed myself of all that i've known
need a freind to carry me across if i get lost
the devil's gonna find me alone
Won't you take me on that train take me on that train
