[Verse 1]
Now come all aboard, back in 1904
I was headed for the Cumberland Gap
When a hard summer rain
Brought death to my train
Colorado come to wash me out
Well the head engineer
Said, "Hear and hear clear
Better hang on and hold your cap"
And before I could jump
Well, those mighty rails sunk
And the whole damn bridge collapsed
[Chorus]
Well, oh my
I'm a train in the sky
Sweet Lord, let me feel no fear
And before I go down
Please tell Barbara Brown
Well, I love you, my darling, my dear
[Verse 2]
Now the children were crying
All the luggage went flying
There was coal rolling everywhere
And there were lovers in the aisle
Knotted up in a pile
Goin' hard despite our deep despair
And as we tumbled away
To that still water grave
There was sorrow amongst the air
While the Bible was read
Well, I bowed down my head
And I prayed out my final prayer
Now come all aboard, back in 1904
I was headed for the Cumberland Gap
When a hard summer rain
Brought death to my train
Colorado come to wash me out
Well the head engineer
Said, "Hear and hear clear
Better hang on and hold your cap"
And before I could jump
Well, those mighty rails sunk
And the whole damn bridge collapsed
[Chorus]
Well, oh my
I'm a train in the sky
Sweet Lord, let me feel no fear
And before I go down
Please tell Barbara Brown
Well, I love you, my darling, my dear

And there were lovers in the aisle
Knotted up in a pile

Well, I bowed down my head
