I learned this song from my brother-in-law Donald Saaf. He learned it from his friend Ralphie in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia.
song sample:
lyrics:
The gospel train's a-coming / I hear it just at hand
I hear the wheels a-rumbling and / rolling through the land.
Get on board little children / Get on board
Get on board little children / There's room for many a-more
I hear that train a-coming
She's coming round the curve
She's loosened all her stream and brakes
Straining every nerve
The fare is cheap and all can go
The rich and poor are there
No second class aboard this train
No difference in the fare
