Music Whenever: "This Train is Bound for Glory"

In the depths of winter, where the winter sun is wan and disappears fast and the cold keeps coming; nothing like a boozy and/or reefer madness, let-it-all hang out, sing-along to raise the spirits.

Mumford and Sons, Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros, The Old Crow Medicine Show, and others join together in a joyous hoedown of the classic gospel song, "This Train is Bound for Glory". Join me in singing and smiling to the computer.

This train is bound for glory, this train.
This train is bound for glory, this train.
This train is bound for glory,
Don't carry nothing but the righteous and the holy.
This train is bound for glory, this train.

This train don't carry no gamblers, this train;
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train;
This train don't carry no gamblers,
No High Flyers, no midnight ramblers,
This train is bound for glory, this train.

This train, done carried my mother, this train.
This train, done carried my mother, this train.
This train, done carried my mother,
my mother, my father, my sister and my brother,
This train, done carried my mother, this train.
This train is bound for glory, this train.

This train don't carry no liars, this train;
This train don't carry no liars, this train;
This train don't carry no liars,
She's streamlined and a midnight flyer,
This train don't carry no liars, this train.

This train is leaving in the morning, this train.
This train is leaving in the morning, this train.
This train is leaving in the morning
Great God Almighty, a new day is dawning!
This train is leaving in the morning, this train.
