[Verse 1]
Lord, I am sinkin’
like a man eaten by the sky
Lord, I am drinkin’
but my mouth is getting dry
Lord, help me in the morning and help me in the night
’Cause that slow train is so hard to get me


[Verse 2]
Oh mama
I know the ship is sinkin’ down now
Oh sister
I know the harvest ain’t comin’ down
Lord, help me in the morning and help me in the night
’Cause that slow train is so hard to get me

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Oh people
tell me if I could walk the long way
Oh baby,
tell me if I could pass the hard way
Lord, help me in the morning and help me in the night
’Cause that slow train is so hard to get me

[Outro] [Solo]
Lord, oh Lord help me in the morning and help me in the night
’Cause that slow train is so hard to get me
Lord, Lord, Lord please help me in the morning and help me in the night
’Cause that slow train is so hard to get me
