That evenin' train might be too late.
I'm goin' home on the mornin' train
I'm goin' home on the mornin' train
I'm goin' home on the mornin' train
That evening train might be too late
I'm goin' home on the mornin' train
When the sinners would come down
and sit on the mourner's bench
Mothers and fathers came all round
And I could hear them say
Goodbye church, let's go home
Goodbye church, let's go home
That evening train might be too late
So I'm going home on the train
Let me bother you just one more time
Coming to take my father away
I heard somebody way back
Back, back, hearse, get your load
Back that hearse, take your load
That evening train, Lord,
I'm goin' home on the mornin' train
If you never hear me sing again
If you never even hear my voice
If you never even hear me no more,
Goodbye church, let's go home
Goodbye church, let's go home
That evening train might be too late
I'm going home on the train
I'm going home on the morning train
I'm going home on the morning train
That evening train might be too late
So I'm going home on the morning train
