     C                Em           F                 C
I'll tell you all the story that I think you'll understand
F                 C
Travelin' through Georgia, ramblin' cross the land
  C                    Em        F                 C
I passed the Bellville depot and somethin' said to me
     F                G                    C
Stop here son there's something you should see

I stopped awhile and rested on the depot steps
The tall pines waved and in the breeze the air was clear and fresh
That Georgia winter sunshine was a warmin' up my back
And I saw a train comin' down the track


Chorus:
C   Em           F         C
God came through Bellville Georgia
F             G              C
He was ridin' on the noonday train
C         Em         F               C
All power to Him and praise His Holy Name
C            Am         Em
He never got off of the train
C            G          C
He never got off of the train


I've never had a day like that since I have been alive
My body full of feelin', there was vision in my eyes
I've traveled this world over just to meet that certain train
And I know my life will never be the same

Well I don't know where He's going but I know He likes to ride
Across the hills and valleys through the prairies through the skies
And I know the time is coming if the world don't ever change
Everybody's gotta meet that train

Chorus


He never does
                        Am
He never got off of the train
C            G           C
He never got off of that train
