Spiritual Title: The Gospel Train's A'Comin'

Lyrics: ¨The Gospel train’s a’comin’
I hear it just at hand
I hear the car wheel rumblin’
And rollin’ thro’ the land

Chorus:
Get on board little children
Get on board little children
Get on board little children
There's room for many more

I hear the train a’comin'
She's comin' round the curve
She's loosened all her steam and brakes
And strainin' ev'ry nerve

Chorus:
The fare is cheap and all can go
The rich and poor are there
No second class aboard this train
No difference in the fare

This song's meaning was that the slaves were getting ready to travel up north to escape.

The slaves would sing this song to let the others know that they were preparing to take a group to freedom.

One hidden message was that "gospel train" was code for underground railroad. Another was when the song was sung slaves instantly knew a conductor, person who translated the slaves, was with them. One last hidden message was that the slave masters thought nothing of it because it was part of the slaves daily routine to sing spirituals.
