Git on board, little children,
Dere's room for many a mo'.
De gospel trains acomin',
I hear it jus' at han',
I hear the car wheels movin',
An' rumblin 'thro de lan'.
Git on board, little children,
Dere's room for many a mo'.
There's Moses, Noah and Abraham
and all the prophets too,
our friends in Christ are all aboard
o what a heav'nly crew!
Git on board, little children,
Dere's room for many a mo'.
We'll shout o'er all our sorrows
and sing foe evermore
with Christ and all his army
on that celestial shore.
Git on board, little children,
Dere's room for many a mo'.
