(1)
My little boy is just four years old
He lost his mama, when the weather turned cold,
When he cries for his mama, I try to explain,
That mama’s, gone ridin’, on that glory bound train.
Chorus:
Mama’s gone ridin,’ on that glory bound train
Up there where she’s going, there’s no sorrow or pain
Dry your eyes, little baby, you’re daddy’s little man
Your mama’s, gone ridin,’ on that glory bound train
(2)
He looks at the stars, when they come out at night
He said, I see mama in that star so bright.
He misses his mama like the flowers miss rain,
Cause mama’s, gone ridin,’ on that glory bound train.
Chorus:
Mama’s gone ridin,’ on that glory bound train
Up there where she’s going, there’s no sorrow or pain
Dry your eyes, little baby, you’re daddy’s little man
Your mama’s, gone ridin,’ on that glory bound train
