[Verse 1]
EmOn the Gtwenty-first of April, eighteen and sixty-fDive
Three-thirty-one left Washington for CLincoln's Bmlast train ridEme
The Gcannons boomed, the bonfires burned, the evergreens wore Dgrey
Three-thirty-one in the morning sun, the Chearse, thatBm journey Emmade
[Chorus]
EmSee that train Gcoming, boys
DRolling down the AmaAsus2in
CDraped in black, she Bmwon't be bDack
EmIt's Lincoln's funeral train
EmWith the Gportrait of a martyred man Asus4shot down by a Atraitor
Now Ctoll the bell anBmd bid farewell to the Dgreat emancipEmator
[Verse 2]
EmCrowd'sG jam the streets for a final look, At the great man who had sDtood
At the country's helm through the bitter war, That Cseemed of Bmlittle good Em
GFelled by the bullet of John Wilkes Booth, As the battle died awDay
His guiding spirit to reconcile by Cabsence Bmbrought Emdismay
[Chorus]
EmSee that train Gcoming, boys
DRolling down the AmaAsus2in
CDraped in black, she Bmwon't be bDack
EmIt's Lincoln's funeral train
EmWith the Gportrait of a martyred man Asus4shot down by a Atraitor
Now Ctoll the bell anBmd bid farewell to the Dgreat emancipEmator
Now Ctoll the bell anBmd bid farewell to the Dgreat emancipEmator
