the conductor wore black - rank and file lyrics

Loading...

i caught the train at the station on the
tracks to the right it had an engine as old as the moon
with my ticket in my hand i waited for
the man and the whistle it howled was out of tune
the brakeman did his job and the fireman did his
yeah he kept up a good head of steam

[chorus]
i ride this train, i ride this train

he took my ticket and i’m on to stay
he don’t thank me and he don’t look back
don’t act surprised when he tells you where you’re going
on this train conductor wears black

up front sat a general with some stars
on his chest through his heart was blacker than a mine
in the rear to the left sat a man with no heart
though his head was working overtime
i saw a rounder in the back with some blood on his hands
and his cousins were lining the aisle

[chorus]

this train carries liars, this train carries cheats
this train carries black guards from all walks of life
that you’d ever, that you’d never want to meet
[chorus]
