Well I thought I heard the devil,
he was calling me by name
Like a fool I answered, like a fool I came
What he had to offer me
was the same old play -down stuff
So I shook my head and I said, no facts,
believe I've seen enough
Well, the white train is tak
ing me to heaven
The white train is shining like a silver
The white train is the only good train
Everybody get on board
Well, the white train is a diesel
Pulling sixteen cars behind
And it stops at every station
For those who want to ride
Well, the conductor, he's a good man
And the engineer's a saint
And the porters all have the time of day
To me, I can't complain
Well, the white train is tak
ing me to heaven
The white train is shining like the sun
The white train is the only good train
Everybody get on board
Well, there's always
people getting on
Getting on, getting on
Changing seats and washing up
Before they know the train is gone
There's always people getting on
Getting on, getting on
Changin' seats and washin' up
before they know it's gone
Before they know it's long
gone
Well, the white train is
taking me to heaven
The white train is shining like a sun
The white train is the
only good train
Everybody get on board
Well, I thought I saw the devil
by the side of the tracks
And he shook his fist as the train went past
I never did look back
Ah -ooh, ah -ooh, ah -ooh
I'll vote for the white train
Ah -hoo, ah -hoo, ah -hoo
Above all the white clouds,
above
you
