Over the hills and over the valley
Mi work the land and no push up di trolley
International train, you got to have a ticket, oh my
And if the road get steep 'pon you
Push your feet them an' just go through
Soul train, you got to have a ticket, oh my

Over the hills and over the valley
Mi work the land and no push up di trolley
International train, you got to have a ticket, oh my
And if the road get steep 'pon you
Push your feet them an' just go through
Soul train, you got to have a ticket, oh my

A man that lives his life with no expectations
Is an empty soul with no ambitions
You got to work and do it right
Just never underestimate the fight
Do your work and do it right

Over the hills and over the valley
Mi work the land and no push up di trolley
International train, you got to have a ticket, oh my
And if the road get steep 'pon you
Push your feet them an' just go through
Soul train, you got to have a ticket, oh my

And if you walking in the dark
There must be a lot to hold on to
And if you feel you are getting lost
Don't lose your faith and just move on
Yes I'm talking to you

International train, you got to have a ticket, oh my
Soul train, you got to have a ticket, oh my
Zion train, you got to have a ticket, oh my
International train, you got to have a ticket

The preacher told me
Don't be discouraged by the evil, yes
So I'll search inside my very soul
My train to Zion, oh my
The preacher standing by the river
Saying, let the water pull down your fever
Soul train, take me to Zion, oh my

International train, you got to have a ticket, oh my
Soul train, you got to have a ticket, oh my
Zion train, you got to have a ticket, oh my
International train, you got to have a ticket..
