I've worked hard And I'm ready for a long vacation Got some money in my pocket And I'm going down to the station Saw a poster on a wall And the place looked really nice A man with a beard said 'follow me, I'll take you to paradise'
If you want to come with me there's room There are no legal limits There's always room for one more soul So why not come and get it
I want to ride this train to Gloryland So why don't you come up here And join the band?
Met the man with the beard Halfway through Kentucky He walked with me and he talked with me Some people say I'm lucky For that day the man I met payed the full price Now I ride the train for free The train to Paradise
