I'm goin' home on the mornin' train
If you don't see me, you will hear me sing
All my sins been taken away
Taken away
Sister Mary wore three lengths of chain
Every link was Jesus name
All my sins been taken away (all my sins been taken away)
Taken away (taken away)
The tallest tree in Paradise
Believers called it the "Tree of life"
All my sins been taken away (all my sins been taken away)
Taken away (taken away)
Jordan's deep, Jordan's wide
Milk an' honey on the other side
All my sins been taken away
Taken away (taken away)
I'm goin' home on the mornin' train (I'm goin' home on the mornin' train)
If you don't see me, you will hear me sing (if you don't see me, you will hear me sing)
All my sins been taken away (all my sins been taken away)
Taken away (taken away)
If you don't see me, you will hear me sing
All my sins been taken away
Taken away
Sister Mary wore three lengths of chain
Every link was Jesus name
All my sins been taken away (all my sins been taken away)
Taken away (taken away)
The tallest tree in Paradise
Believers called it the "Tree of life"
All my sins been taken away (all my sins been taken away)
Taken away (taken away)
Jordan's deep, Jordan's wide
Milk an' honey on the other side
All my sins been taken away
Taken away (taken away)
I'm goin' home on the mornin' train (I'm goin' home on the mornin' train)
If you don't see me, you will hear me sing (if you don't see me, you will hear me sing)
All my sins been taken away (all my sins been taken away)
Taken away (taken away)

MORNING TRAIN - RUTH BROWN
Lord, I'm going home on the morning train.
I'm going home on the morning train.
That evening train might be too late.
I'm going home on the morning train.
I'm going home on the morning train.
I'm going home on the morning train.
That evening train might be too late.
I'm going home on the morning train.
That reminds me of an old time revival meeting when the sinners would come down and sit on the mourners' bench
Mothers and fathers praying all around and I could hear them say word by word:
Goodbye church, let's go home.
Goodbye church, let's go home.
That evening train might be too late.
So I'm going home on the morning train.
Let me bother you just one more time.
I remember one thursday morning when the hearse backed up to my door coming to take my father away.
I heard somebody way back in the corner softly say:
Back, back hearse, get your load.
Back back hearse, take your load.
That evening train, Lord, might be too late.
I'm going home on the morning train.
Even never hear me say again,
Even never hear me no more,
Even never hear, hear me no more,
I want you, I want you to remember:
Goodbye church, let's go home.
Goodbye church, let's go home.
That evening train might be too late.
So I'm going home on the morning train.
I'm going home on the morning train
I'm going home on the morning train
That evening train might be too late.
I’m going home…….
Lord, I'm going home on the morning train.
I'm going home on the morning train.
That evening train might be too late.
I'm going home on the morning train.
I'm going home on the morning train.
I'm going home on the morning train.
That evening train might be too late.
I'm going home on the morning train.
That reminds me of an old time revival meeting when the sinners would come down and sit on the mourners' bench
Mothers and fathers praying all around and I could hear them say word by word:
Goodbye church, let's go home.
Goodbye church, let's go home.

Migration Blues del 2017.
Il brano ha le sue origini nei canti di dominio pubblico degli schiavi afro-americani del sud degli Stati Uniti a partire dall'800.
Titolo e tema sono analoghi al tradizionale " This Train (is Bound for Glory)"
Nella accezione religiosa di questi canti il treno è simbolo del ritorno alla casa del Padre per chi crede nel Paradiso ove ogni peccato della vita terrena sarà perdonato e una nuova gioiosa vita ricomincerà.
"All my sins been taken away" è presente in tutte le cinque strofe.
Ma il treno rappresenta anche il mezzo materiale di fuga dalle sofferenze morali e limitazioni fisiche della schiavitù o comunque dalle difficoltà e angosce di ogni giorno sia nei canti religiosi che nei Blues.
In questo brano l'Autore cita versi presenti in altri Spiritual come "Every link was Jesus name " di "Hold On " o l'immagine dell' "Albero della Vita" ["the Tree of Life"] di "All My Trials".
Così come il fiume Giordano ultimo ostacolo, anche se difficoltoso, prima di raggiungere la liberta' e la felicità, diffusamente presente nei canti tradizionali dell'epoca.
Bibb qui pesca nella più lontana e commovente tradizione afroamericana, la unisce alla sua personale esperienza di migrante di lusso, afferma con l’ispirata poesia del canto corale la forza di un Noi umano quale unico antidoto ai peccati dell’Io capitale.
Migration Blues è un gran bel lavoro, sopratutto per chi apprezza il lato acustico della forza. La conferma di Eric Bibb nel suo ruolo di songster, ma anche di uomo blue consapevole del mondo che lo circonda. Great!
