We'll I've been all around my old home town
I have searched everywhere I know
But I can't find a trace of my girl in this place
So there's nothing to do but go
I'll be riding that midnight train when it's leavin'
And I'm going away to stay
I always wanted to know where that engine did go
Gonna gowhere it goes today
Oh she said she'd b4e true til' the fighting was through
Said she'd wait for me til' the end
But she's proven untrue and her sweet love is through
So I'm catching that train again
* Refrain
Well I've seen that old train pulling out in the rain
See 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
＊ Refrain
