There's a place I know where the train goes slow    Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb    There's a river by the trestle down by sinner's grove    Down where the willow and the dogwood grow      You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell    From the halls of heaven to the gates of hell    And there's room for the forsaken if you're there on time    You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes    If you're down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there where the train goes slow      There's a golden moon that shines up through the mist    And I know that your name can be on that list    There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth    I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth    He was down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there by the train    He was down there where the train goes slow      If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith    I know you can be cared for and I know you can be safe    And all the shamefuls and all of the whores    And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord Is down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there where the train goes slow      Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer    Never given of myself, never truly cared    I've left the ones who loved me and I'm still raising    Cain I've taken the low road and if you've done the same    Meet me down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there where the train goes slow      Meet me down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there by the train    Down there where the train goes slow
