Stumpjumper

[Verse 1]
Empty out your pockets
Cause here comes the Lord
You know you can't get to heaven
Carryin' all that load
You know you can't get to heaven
Carryin' all that load

[Chorus]
Well, he's riding that little black train
From glory to the ground
And when Jesus gets here
He's gonna burn that the whole town down, yeah
Jesus gets here he's gonna burn that whole town down

[Verse 2]
Lay down your rifle, now
Here comes the Lord
You can't wade in the water
'Less you leave your gun on the shore
You can't wade in the water
'Less you leave your gun on the shore

[Chorus]
Well, he'll be riding that little black train
From glory to the ground
When Jesus gets here
He's gonna burn that the whole town down
Jesus gets here, brother, he's gonna burn that whole town down

[Verse 3]
Are you lying to the people, friend?
You'd better cut that out
When the good Lord gets here
He'll stopper up your mouth
When the good Lord gets here
He'll stopper up your mouth

[Chorus]
Well, he'll be riding that little black train
From glory to the ground
Well, when Jesus gets here
He's gonna burn that the whole town down
Jesus gets here he's gonna burn that whole town down

[Verse 4]
Lord, learn to live for your children, now
The reverend Davis said
The Devil's waitin' to get 'em
If you don't take their hand
The Devil's waitin' to get 'em
If you don't take their hand

[Chorus]
Well, he'll be riding that little black train
From glory to the ground
Yeah, when Jesus gets here
He's gonna burn that the whole town down
Jesus gets here he's gonna burn that whole town down

[Verse 1]
Empty out your pockets
Cause here comes the Lord
You know you can't get to heaven
Carryin' all that load
You know you can't get to heaven, brother
Carryin' all that load

[Chorus]
Well, he'll be riding that little black train
From glory to the ground
Yeah, when Jesus gets here
He's gonna burn that the whole town down
Yeah, when Jesus gets here he's gonna burn that whole town down
Yeah, when Jesus gets here he's gonna burn that whole town down
