Down There By The Train (Alternate Take) (Alternate Take)

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

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

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 Wilke's booth

They were 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

If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith

I know you will be cared for and

I know you will be safe

And all of the shameful and all of the whores

Even the soldier who pierced the heart of the

LordIs 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

Well, I've never asked forgiveness, never said a prayer

I've never given of myself, never truly cared

And I've left the ones who loved me and

I'm still raising

CainI've taken the low road and if you've done the same

Meet me 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
