Bound for Glory (Words & Music by Woody Guthrie; Arr. & Perf. by Olen Edwards)

From the Album It Takes a Lot of People (Tribute to Woody Guthrie)

This train is bound for glory, this train
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train is bound for glory
If you want to go to heaven you got to live holy
This train is bound for glory, this train

This train don’t carry no gamblers, this train
This train don’t carry no gamblers, this train
This train don’t carry no gamblers, this train
Cigarette smokers or midnight rounders
This train is a clean train, this train

This train is a clean train, this train
This train is a clean train, this train
This train is a clean train
Everybody rides in Jesus’s name
This train is bound for glory, this train
