When he rolls that boulder you will rise, I know
I'm gonna ride on the golden rails
When that train gives way and on the seventh day
I'm gonna ride on the golden rails

I'm gonna ride on the golden rails
Lord, I'm gonna ride on the golden rails
I'm a-gonna ride on the golden rails
Lord, I'm a-gonna stop, be a-boarding on the glory train
Cross the River Jordan in the Baptist's name
Saint Peter waiting at the gates
I'm gonna ride

I will board that carriage, I have paid my fare
I'm gonna ride on the golden rails
Oh my Lord almighty I have seen that light
I'm gonna ride on the golden rails

I'm a-gonna ride on the golden rails
Lord, I'm gonna ride on the golden rails
I'm gonna ride on the golden rails
Lord, I'm a-gonna stop, be a-boarding on the glory train
Cross the River Jordan in the Baptist's name
Saint Peter waiting at the gates
I'm gonna ride

When I walk with Moses as he strikes that stone
I'm gonna ride on the golden rails
It is Christ my savior that will drive that train
I'm gonna ride on the golden rails

I'm a-gonna ride on the golden rails
Lord, I'm gonna ride on the golden rails
I'm gonna ride on the golden rails
Lord, I'm a-gonna stop, be a-boarding on the glory train
Cross the River Jordan in the Baptist's name
Saint Peter waiting at the gates

I'm gonna ride on the golden rails
Lord, I'm gonna ride on the golden rails
I'm gonna ride on the golden rails
Lord, I'm a-gonna stop, be a-boarding on the glory train
Cross the River Jordan in the Baptist's name
Saint Peter waiting at the gates
I'm gonna ride
