Down There By The Train

Johnny Cash

1. There's a place I know where the train goes slow
   Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb
   There's a river by the trestle down by sinner's grove
   Down where the willow and the dogwood grow
   
   You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell
   From the halls of heaven to the gates of hell
   And there's room for the forsaken if you're there on time
   You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes

R: If you're down there by the train
   Down there by the train
   Down there by the train
   Down there by the train
   Down there where the train goes slow

2. There's a golden moon that shines up through the mist
   And I know that your name can be on that list
   There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth
   I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth

R: He was down there by the train
   Down there by the train
   Down there by the train
   Down there by the train
   He was down there where the train goes slow
   
3. If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith
   I know you can be cared for and I know you can be safe
   And all the shamefuls and all of the whores
   And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord 

R: Is down there by the train...

4. Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer
   Never given of myself, never truly cared
   I've left the ones who loved me and I'm still raising
   Cain I've taken the low road and if you've done the same

R: Meet me down there by the train... (2x)
