Tom Waits - Down There By The Train

Lyrics

There's a place I know where the train goes slow

Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb

There's a river by the trestle down by sinner's grove

Down where the willow and the dogwood grows

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there where the train goes slow

You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell

From the halls of heaven to the gates of hell

And there's room for the forsaken if you're there on time

You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes

If you're down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there where the train goes slow

There's a golden moon that shines up through the mist

And I know that your name can be on that list

There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth

I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there where the train goes slow

If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith

I know you can be cared for and I know you can be safe

And all the shamefuls and all of the whores

And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord

Is down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there where the train goes slow

Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer

Never given of myself, never truly cared

I've left the ones who loved me and I'm still raising Cain

I've taken the low road and if you've done the same

Meet me down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there where the train goes slow

Meet me down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there by the train

Down there where the train goes slow

End song to a great movie called Miral . The song had me in sobs . Johnny Cash's version is good , but it was Waits ragged voice and soul that capped off a great movie

I nearly cried. This is the greatest compliment I can pay a song, as far as I can think right now. Oh, by the way, the lyrics are wrong any number of places. I need a honky-tonk piano like that. Maybe if I just leave mine untuned a few more years it'll sound that way. Not that I'd ever want that voice. Mine is plain but at least I'm not in pain just to use it.

"I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth." favorite line ever, along with, "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die."

Then you haven't seen Dustin Kensrues cover yet! In my opinion as powerful and moving as the original. watch?v=sH-6TnMlRq0

I've heard various covers of this song, but none so soul-wrenchingly powerful as Tom Waits' own version. Thanks for the upload.

Masterpiece. That's the only word that I can describe this with.

What album did Tom release this on? Am I right in thinking that Johnny released it first, even if Tom wrote it?

I've never asked forgiveness, Ive never said a prayer. I've never given of myself, and I've never truly cared. and I've hurt the ones that loved me and I'm still raising cane. I've taken the low road, and if youve done the same. Meet me down there by the train
