"Move Along Train" lyrics - MAVIS STAPLES & LEVON HELM
[Chorus: Mavis Staples]
A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
Yeah, move along train (You've got your heavy load)
Yeah, move along train (You've got your heavy load)
Because my Lord's coming and He won't be long
He's gonna safely carry me home
[Verse 1: Mavis Staples]
That gospel train is coming
Coming around the curve
I can hear that whistle blowing
You know she's straining every nerve
[Chorus: Mavis Staples]
A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
Yeah, move along train (You've got your heavy load)
Because my Lord's coming, He won't be long
Safely carry me home
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2: Mavis Staples]
Tell that ballroom lady
She better get her business right
Because the gospel train is coming
You know it maybe here tonight, hey
[Chorus: Mavis Staples]
A move along train (You've got your heavy load)
Move along train (You've got your heavy load)
Move along train (You've got your heavy load)
My Lord's coming, He won't be long
He's gonna safely carry me home
[Outro: Mavis Staples & Levon Helm]
(He's gonna) Safely carry me home
(What's he gonna do?) Safely carry me home
Thank you so much
