DOWN THERE BY THE TRAIN
There's a plEace I kE7now, Where the trAain goes sElow
Where the siEnners can be waEshed, In the blAood of the lB7amb
There's a riAver by the treEstle, OAver by Sinners GrAove
DEown where the wiE7llow and the doB7gwood gArow E
DEown there by the train, DB7own there by the train
DEown ther by the train, DAown there by the train
DEown there, Where the train gB7oes sElow
You can hAear the whiEstle, YAou can hear the bEell
From the hEalls of heE7aven, To the gaAtes of hB7ell
And there's rAoom for the forsaEken, If you're there on tAime
You'll be waEshed of all your sE7ins and aAll of your crimes
If you're dEown there by the train, DB7own there by the train
DEown there by the train, DAown there by the train
DEown there, Where the train, gB7oes sElow
ThEere's a golden mE7oon that shAines up throught the mEist
And I kEnow that your nEame, Will be Aon that lB7ist
There's no eAye for an eEye, There's no toAoth for a tAooth
I saw JuEdas Iscariot carrying JB7ohn Wilkes BoAoth
He was dEown there by the train, DB7own there by the train
DEown there by the train, DAown there by the train
He was dEown where the train gB7oes sElow
So Eif you live in darE7kness, And AIf you live in shEame
AEll of the pasE7sengers, Will be trAeated the sB7ame
Oh, And oAld Humpty JacEkson, And GAyp the Blood will sAing
And ChaErlie Witten is holding on to DiB7llenger's wAings
They're both dEown there by the train, DB7own there by the train
DEown there by the train, DAown there by the train
DEown there where the train gB7oes sElow
If you've lEost all your hE7ope, If you've lAost all your faEith
I kEnow you can be cE7ared for, And I kAnow you can be sB7afe
And aAll of the shEamefulls, And aAll of the whAores
And eEven the soldier who pierced the sB7ide of the LAord
Is dEown there by the train, DB7own there by the train
DEown there by the train, DAown there by the train
DEown there where the train gB7oes sElow
Well I've never asEked for forgivness, I've neAver said a prEayer
Never giEven of myE7self, And I've neAver truly caB7red
And I've hAurt the ones who loEved me, And IA'm still raising CAain
I've taEken the low road, And if yB7ou have done the sAame
Meet me dEown there by the train, DB7own there by the train
DEown there by the train, DAown there by the train
DEown there where the train gB7oes sAlow
Meet me dEown there by the train, DB7own there by the train
DEown there by the train, DAown there by the train
DEown there where the train gB7oes sAlow
