"Move Along Train" lyrics

Mavis Staples & Levon Helm Lyrics

"Move Along Train"
(originally by The Staple Singers)

A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
Because my lord's coming and he won't be long
He's gonna safely carry me home

That gospel train is coming
Coming around the curve
I can hear that whistle blowing
You know she's straining every nerve

A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
Because my lord's coming, he won't be long
Safely carry me home

Tell that ballroom lady
She better get her business right
Because the gospel train is coming
You know it may be here tonight

A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
My lord's coming, he won't be long
He's gonna safely carry me home
(He's gonna) safely carry me home
(What's he going to do) safely carry me home
