Wow! “This train is bound for glory…” I haven’t heard this spiritual since I was a boy at Y camp.

I don’t think I ever heard this one. Pretty rousing.
Would you believe we used to sing this in grade school?
Broonzy has lyrics to this song I had never heard before, like the reference to Jim Crow laws. I played this video three times in a row – thanks!
It’s hard to tell, with folk songs and spirituals, which are the “real” lyrics.
