This Train is Bound For Glory
Traditional, adapted by Eric Litwin and Michael Levine
Lyrics:
This train is bound for glory, this train (2x)
This train is bound for glory
Don’t carry nothing but the righteous and the holy
This train is bound for glory, this train.
This train is going to the zoo, this train (2x)
This train is going to the zoo
Going to jump around with the kangaroo
This train is going to the zoo, this train.
This train is going to the moon, this train (2x)
This train is going to the moon
Boy I hope we get there soon
This train is going to the moon, this train
