I’m goin’ home on the morning train
I’m goin’ home on the morning train
I’m goin’ home on the morning train
If you don’t see me, you can hear me singin’
All my sins been taken away, taken away.

Sister Mary wore three links of chain
Sister Mary wore three links of chain
Sister Mary wore three links of chain
On each link was my Jesus’ name
All my sins been taken away, taken away.

I’m on my way to the freedom land
I’m on my way to the freedom land
I’m on my way to the freedom land
Lord God almighty, hold my hand
All my sins been taken away, taken away.

Well I don’t know, but I’ve been told
Streets in heaven paved in gold
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

Well, the devil, he has a slippery shoe
And if you don’t watch out, he’ll slip it on you
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

Hold on, hold on
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on

I’m goin’ home on the morning train
I’m goin’ home on the morning train
I’m goin’ home on the morning train
If you don’t see me, you can hear me singin’
All my sins been taken away, taken away.
