Lyrics
(American folk song)
1. There’s a little black train a-coming.
Get all your bus’ness right.
There’s a little black train a-coming,
And it may be here tonight.
2. Oh the little black train is a-coming,
It’s coming ’round the bend,
You can hear those wheels a-moving
And rattling through the land.
3. Oh, the little black train is a-coming,
It’s coming ’round the curve,
A-whistling and a-blowing
And straining every nerve.
