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
