Lyrics[Introduction]
I'm gonna sing a song tonight. The subject of this song: "Funeral Train Is Coming" (Yes sir). And you belong to the Funeral Train (Amen) (Yes sir). And you belong to the Funeral Train, whether you believe it or not (Yes sir) (Oh yes).​

[Verse 1]
I had a very sick mother
She was lyin' very low
But the last time I heard from my mother
She was knockin' at heaven's door

[Chorus]
And she belong to that Funeral Train
She belong to that Funeral Train
She belong to that Funeral Train
Oh sinner, why don't you pray
[Verse 2]
I had a very sick father
Hе was lyin' very low
But the last time I hеard from my father
He was knockin' at heaven's door

[Chorus]
And he belong to that Funeral Train
He belong to that Funeral Train
And he belong to that Funeral Train
Oh sinner, why don't you pray

[Verse 3]
The Funeral Train is a-comin'
It's a-comin' 'round the curve
And the way I know it's a-comin'
She's a-strainin' at every nerve

[Chorus]
And you belong to that Funeral Train
You belong to that Funeral Train
And you belong to that Funeral Train
Oh sinner, why don't you pray

[Verse 4]
This Funeral Train that I'm talking about
She has no whistle nor bell
But a-when you find your station out
She have land you in heaven or hell
You might also like[Chorus]
And you belong to that Funeral Train
And you belong to that Funeral Train
And you belong to that Funeral Train
Oh sinner, why don't you pray
