[D] [D] [G] To me this recording wouldn't be complete
I didn't dedicate something
in memory of my mother
the late
[G] Estella Franklin
[D] Why I know [Bm] [E]
[A] that mother is on that train
[G] [D]
[A]
[D] [Dm]
[D] That whistle blow
[Dm]
I heard the fireman ring the bell
And [A] I, I thought I [D] heard
the conductor holler
He [E] said all aboard
All aboard [A] and farewell
But oh, we're running
Down [G] to the station
And I [G] thought I
heard somebody call my name
But he said [D] son
you don't have to worry
[D] Because mother
[A] mother
stepped on that train
[G]
Oh, mother
stepped on that train
She bought a ticket
with heartaches and pains
Yeah, [G] mother
stepped on that train
She kept on [E] calling
calling on [A] Jesus' name
Yeah, [A]
before [D] my
before my mother died
She [G] said son
I've got to leave for a while
But oh, we'll meet again
Then [E] my mother
[A]
she stepped on that [D] train
[D] I think I'll say it one more time
[G]
stepped on that train
She [D] bought a ticket
with heartaches and pains
[G]
[G] Stepped on that train
She [E] kept on calling
She kept calling
calling on [A] Jesus' name
Before [D]
mother passed away
She [G] said son
we'll meet again
We'll meet again
We'll meet again one day
And then my mother
[D] my [Bm] sweet darling [E] mother
[A] [Dm] stepped on that train
[G] [D] My mind goes back to a few [G] days ago
[D] when I was one of nine children
[D]
[G] standing around the bedside
watching mother go [D] home
And I just didn't think I could make it without mama
[G] But it's surprising
what you can do
when you turn it over to the hands of the Lord
It seemed like I [Dm] heard a voice
from out of nowhere that said
[D] I'll never leave you alone
And I'm a witness today
that God has never left me alone
Oh [G] mother
stepped on that train
Oh mother
[D] stepped on that train
Oh my mother
[G]
Sometimes she thought it was all in vain
But [E] she kept on calling
Jesus' [A] name
Just before [D] my
Before mother passed away
[Dm] She said oh [G] we'll meet again
[G] I'll meet you again
We'll meet again one day
And [D] then mother
my sweet darling mother [A] She stepped
She stepped
She stepped on that train
