I’ve climbed the mountain
I’ve come tumblin’ down
Layin’ on the wayside
I’m callin’ out

Make ready

‘Round yonder heartache
On up past the hill
They’s steel by the haystacks
They’s cuttin’ at the mill

Make ready
Around that bend
Make ready my baby
Our train, our train’s comin’ in

I don’t see the steam
I can’t hear the horn
But I feel that train
Come rumblin’ and a roarin’

Make ready
Around that bend
Make ready my baby
Our train, our train’s comin’ in

Pack up your possessions
Lightenin’ up the load
Brakeman takes the burdens
They’s flames in place of coal

Make ready
Around that bend
Make ready my baby
Our train, our train’s comin’ in

I don’t see the steam
I can’t hear the horn
But I feel that train
Come rumblin and a roarin’

Make ready
Around that bend
Make ready my baby
Our train, our train’s comin’ in

I don’t see the steam
I can’t hear the horn
But I feel that train
Come rumblin’ and a roarin’

Make ready
Around that bend
Make ready my baby
Our train, our train’s comin’ in

Make ready my baby
Our train, our train’s comin’ in
