Old Black Train Lyrics by The Blasting Company

Over The Garden Wall - Original Soundtrack

2017

[Verse 1]
There's an old black train a-coming
Scrapin' 'long the iron
You don't need no ticket, boys
It'll take you when its time
[Verse 2]
Now, come on now, young strangers
Weren't you someone's son?
How'd you find this depot?
'Cause it ain't where you belong
[Verse 3]
You will pass a graveyard
Stones worn by the years
The train'll stop a minute
But don't let it leave you here
[Verse 4]
Well, the coachman is my brother
The engineer's my friend
They'll get you more acquainted
By the time you reach the end
[Verse 5]
This journey is a long one
It'll take you all around
Life rushing by your windows
Before it lays you down
[Verse 5]
Now, where this old train's going
You can't come back from
Leave your baggage here
Because we'll need it when you're gone
