Tune: BTA:

I can hear a train a comin' I can hear a train a comin'

Way along the line Way along the line

I can hear a train a comin' I can hear a train a comin'

Way along the line Way along the line

I can hear the whistle blowing Ooooh …..

As the rail begins to hum Humm ….

With a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper

Of a ---better day gonna come better day gonna come

I can hear a train a comin' I can hear a train a comin'

Way along the line Way along the line

I can hear a train a comin' I can hear a train a comin'

Way along the line Way along the line

I can hear the whistle blowing Ooooh …..

As the rail begins to hum Humm ….

With a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper

Of a ----better day gonna come better day gonna come

It's a freedom train a comin' It's a freedom train a comin'

Way along the line Way along the line

It's a freedom train a comin' It's a freedom train a comin'

Way along the line Way along the line

I can hear the whistle blowing Ooooh …..

As the rail begins to hum Humm ….

With a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper

Of a ---better day gonna come better day gonna come

It's a peace train a comin' It's a peace train a comin'

Way along the line Way along the line

It's a peace train a comin' It's a peace train a comin'

Way along the line Way along the line

I can hear the whistle blowing Ooooh …..

As the rail begins to hum Humm ….

With a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper

Of a ---better day gonna come better day gonna come

I can hear a train a comin' I can hear a train a comin'

Way along the line Way along the line

I can hear a train a comin' I can hear a train a comin'

Way along the line Way along the line

I can hear the whistle blowing Ooooh …..

As the rail begins to hum Humm ….

With a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper

With a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper

With a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper, with a whisper

Of a ---better day gonna come better day gonna come
