Morning Train

(album: Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboy - 1972)

Going home on the morning train
Lord I'm going home on the morning train, in the early morning
I'm going home on the morning train
And if you don't see me, hear me singing
All of my sins are gone away
Lord, they're long gone away

Well, I don't know it but I been told
Streets in Heaven, oh they're all done up in gold
Keep your hands on that plow now, hold on

Sister Mary
Oh my proud sister Mary she her wore her three lengths of chain
My sister Mary wore three lengths of chain, chain, chain, Mary
Sister Mary wore three lengths of chain
And on every link was my good Jesus' name
All of my sins are gone away
Oh, they're long gone away

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
All them Prophets, Lord, they've long been dead and gone
Keep your hands on that plow, dear God
Hold on, hold on, hold, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Keep your hands on that plow, dear God, hold on

Keep on holding on, on the morning train, train, train
Lord I'm going home on the morning train, in the brightest morning
I'm going home on the morning train
And if you don't see me, hear me singing
All of my sins are gone away
Lord, they're long gone away
Oh they're long, Lord they're long gone away
Oh they're long gone, Lord they're long gone
Goodbye
