The Midnight Train

[Verse 1]
Well, I've been all around my old hometown
I've searched everywhere I know
But I can't find a trace of my girl in this place
So there's nothin' to do but go

[Chorus]
I'll be ridin' that midnight train when it's leavin'
And I'm goin' away to stay
Always wanted to know where the engine did go
So I'm goin' where it goes today

[Verse 2]
Oh, she said she'd be true 'til the fightin' was through
Said she'd wait for me 'til the end
But she's proven untrue and our sweet love is through
So I'm catchin' that train again

[Chorus]
I'll be ridin' that midnight train when it's leavin'
And I'm goin' away to stay
Always wanted to know where the engine did go
So I'm goin' where it goes today

[Verse 3]
Well, I've seen that old train pullin' out in the rain
Seen it leave with the stars up above
Like a hound on the trail, it carries the mail
It will take me away from that love

[Chorus]
I'll be ridin' that midnight train when it's leavin'
And I'm goin' away to stay
Always wanted to know where the engine did go
So I'm goin' where it goes today
I'll be ridin' that midnight train when it's leavin'
And I'm goin' away to stay
Always wanted to know where the engine did go
So I'm goin' where it goes today

[Outro]
Always wanted to know where the engine did go
So I'm goin' where it goes today
