(Brother William's Memphis Sanctified Singers)
Well if I get to heaven before you do
I will meet you at the station when your train comes along
I'll be watching and waiting, Mother dear, for you
I will meet you at the station when your train comes along
Father, when the train
father, when the train
Meet me at the station when the train comes along

Father, when the train comes along
I will meet you at the station when your train comes along
Well if my eyes see the glory, before yours do
I will meet you at the station when your train comes along
I'll be watching and waiting, Father, for you
I will meet you at the station whe your train comes along
Father, when the train
father, when the train
Meet me at the station when the train comes along

Father, when the train comes along
I will meet you at the station when your train comes along
Now if my feet touch the homeline before yours do
I will meet you at the station when the train comes along

I will meet you at the station when the train comes along

Will you meet me at the station when my train comes along
Will you be there watching, sister, for me
