Big Black Train Songtext
von Archie Roach

It′s a mean carriage train
Yeah, a mean carriage train
Heard it screaming, whistle blows

There's a mean carriage train
Yeah, a mean carriage train
Heard it screaming, whistle blows

But don′t you go, no don't you go

'Cause this train won′t let you go, this train
This train won′t let you go, this train
No, this train won't let you go
You paid your fare a long time ago

This train (this train)
This train (this train)
This train (this train)

Don′t get on board, little children
Don't get on board, little children
No, don′t you go down that track


Don't get on board, little children
Don′t get on board, little children
No, don't you go down that track

Oh, you won't be coming back
Oh, you won′t be coming back

′Cause this train's not bound for glory, this train
This train′s not bound for glory, this train
No, this train's not bound for glory
Taking all these years, all the years

This train (this train)
This train (this train)
This train (this train)

It′s a big, black train
Yeah a big, black train
Rolling through the night

It's a big, black train
Oh, a big, black train
And it′s rolling through the night

Get out of the tunnel!
Stay out of sight!


Well this train's gonna run on fire, this train
This train's gonna run on fire, this train
Oh, this train′s gonna run on fire
Burning up your desire
Oh, this train′s gonna run on fire
Burning up your desire

This train (this train)
This train (this train)
This train (this train)

Don't get on board (this train)
Don′t get on board (this train)
Don't get on board (this train)
