Chorus:
Dis train am bound for glory, Dis train,
Dis train am bound for glory, Dis train,
Dis train am bound for glory,
Don't carry nothing but the righteous and holy,
Dis train am bound for glory, Dis train.

1 Dis train don't carry no jokers, Dis train,
Dis train don't carry no jokers, Dis train,
Dis train don't carry no jokers,
no snuff dippers, no tobacco smokers,
Dis train am bound for glory, Dis train.

2 Dis train don't carry no gamblers, Dis train,
Dis train don't carry no gamblers, Dis train,
Dis train don't carry no gamblers,
no hoboes, no midnight ramblers,
Dis train am bound for glory, Dis train.

3 Dis train don't carry no clinkers, Dis train,
Dis train don't carry no clinkers, Dis train,
Dis train don't carry no clinkers,
no evil thinkers no moonshine drinkers,
Dis train am bound for glory, Dis train.

4 Dis train don't carry no pesses, Dis train,
Dis train don't carry no pesses, Dis train,
Dis train don't carry no pesses,
no bobbed-haired women, no knee-high dresses,
Dis train am bound for glory, Dis train.
