(laughter)

Yeah...

Baby I really want to know

I think you should stop your cryin'

Use my 'kerchief to dry your eyes

You know I love you

Ruby, here I am

A rub upon my belly like some Guava Jelly

Damsel, here I am

A rub upon my belly like some Guava Jelly

This Train, is Bound For Glory

This Train

Hear me talkin' about

This Train, is Bound For Glory

This Train

This Train, is Bound For Glory

This Train, will carry no unholy stone

That the builder refused

Shall always be the head cornerstone

Stone that the builder refused

Shall always be the head cornerstone

You're a builder baby

Here I am a stone

Don't mean to confuse it girl

'Cause the things you should use

Are the things we should choose

And you hear me

Hear what I say

This Train, Bound For Glory

This Train

This Train, is Bound For Glory

This Train

This Train, is Bound For Glory

This Train, carry no unholy

'Cause I

I just can't be scared...
