[Verse 1] This old body's bound for the buryin' ground but my soul's gonna rise when the trumpet sounds like a sparrow loosed from a rusty chain I'll ride on out on the mornin' train [Chorus] When my work is done and my race is run I'm goin' home (goin' home) on the mornin' train no more sorrow and no more rain I'm goin' home on the mornin' train [Verse 2] I have walked through the valley, I have crossed the cold I have carried my burden, I have grown old but I hear that whistle, I see that flame glory hallelujah, here comes the train [Chorus] When my work is done and my race is run I'm goin' home (goin' home) on the mornin' train no more sorrow and no more rain I'm goin' home on the mornin' train [Banjo Break] [Verse 3] So don't you weep for me when I'm gone I'll be waitin' for you where the light still shone call my name at the river and I'll call again I'll be HOME by then on the mornin' train [Final Chorus] When my work is done and my race is run I'm goin' home (goin' home) on the mornin' train no more sorrow and no more rain I'm goin' home on the mornin' train [Outro] I'm goin' home on the mornin' train
