Gospel train song sung in a barbershop arrangement. There is a "Pullman Passenger Train" version of the song with very similar lyrics.
I'm gonna ride (gonna ride), I mean (I mean)
That south bound passenger train
I'm gonna buy me a ticket just as long as my arm
I'm gonna ride that train, baby, all night long.
I'm gonna ride (gonna ride), I mean (I mean)
That south bound passenger train
Until I hear that old conductor say,
"All out for Birmingham!"
I got a letter from my doll babe
Way down in Birmingham
She's the cutest little doll babe
Way down in Birmingham - Licensing
