There's a place I know where the train goes slow
Where the sinner can be washed in the b lood of the l amb
There's a r iver by the t restle down by S inner's Grove
Down where the w illow and the d ogwood g row
You can h ear the whistl e yo u can hear the be ll
From the halls of h eaven to the gates of h ell
And there's r oom for the forsak en if you're there on t ime
You'll be w ashed of all your s ins and a ll of your crimes
I f you're down there by the train
D own there by the train
D own there by the train
D own there by the train
D own there where th e tra in goes slow
There's a gol den moon that s hines up through the mist
And I know that your nam e can be on that list
There's no e ye for an eye there's no t ooth for a tooth
I saw J udas Iscariot carrying J ohn Wilkes Booth
He was...
I f you're down there by the train
D own there by the train
D own there by the train
D own there by the train
D own there where th e tra in goes slow
If you've lost a ll your hope if you've lost all yo ur faith
I know you can be cared for and I know you can be sa fe
And all the shamefuls an d all of the who res
And even the sol dier who pierce d the si de of the Lord
Is...
I f you're down there by the train
D own there by the train
D own there by the train
D own there by the train
D own there where th e tra in goes slow
Well I've never asked forgiv eness and I 've never s aid a prayer
Never given of myself never truly cared
I've left t he ones who l oved me and I'm still raising Cain
I've taken the l ow road and if you've d one th e same
Meet me...
I f you're down there by the train
D own there by the train
D own there by the train
D own there by the train
D own there where th e tra in goes slow
