Lyrics

Now listen just a minute while I sing this song
Don't you worry baby it won't take long
I'm just about ready to draw the line
So don't be surprised if I leave this time

Well I'm goin' north and I'm goin' south
Don't want no more of your lyin' mouth
I'm hittin' the road, gonna ring some bells
Better know I can do it well

Chorus:
Midnight train, ramblin' ramblin'
All night long I'm gamblin', gamblin'
Been losin' all my money and it really is funny, umm badda dum
Midnight train, ramblin' ramblin'
Al night I'm gamblin', gamblin'
Well tell you what baby, well you better be movin' on

Well I really don't know where I'm goin' for sure
Ain't gotta map, it ain't no tour
Just headin' out to the open sky
Who knows, might even die

Well don't you worry your pretty little head
'Cause you never gave a dang what I did or said
That's why I'm packin' to leave this place
Can't stand to look at your cheatin' face

Chorus

Well you treated me like a little boy
And played around like I was a toy
Guess you thought I'd have the blues
Look whose cryin', guess you lose

Chorus (twice)
It's about that time, better be movin' on

Midnight train (version from "missing links, vol. 3")

1: well I'm an angry man, I sing an angry song
Tell you honey it won't be long
Well I'll pack my bags, get outa here
With my guitar and a case o' beer
Well I'm goin' north and I'm goin' south
Tell you honey, better shut you're mouth
Well I'll kick your head from here to hell
You better know I can do it well

Chorus: midnight train, ramblin', ramblin'
All night long I'm a-gamblin', gamblin'
Losin' all my money well it really is funny, hon
Midnight train, ramblin', ramblin'
All night long I'm a-gamblin', gamblin'
Tell you what'n baby well you better be movin' on

2: well I really don't know where I'm goin' for sure
Ain't got a map, and it ain't no tour
I'm just headin' out for the open sky
Who knows? might even die
Well don't you worry your pretty little head
I never give a damn what I did or said
That's why I'm packin' to leave this place
Can't stand look at your cheatin' face

Chorus: (repeat)

3: well you treated me like a little boy
And you played around like I was a toy
I guess you thought I'd have the blues
Look who's cryin', guess you lose

Chorus: (repeat)

Chorus: midnight train, rambling, rambling
All night long I'm gambling, gambling
Losing all my money, well it really ain't so funny, hon
Midnight train, rambling, rambling
All night long I'm gambling, gambling
Tell you what'n baby, well you better be moving on

Chorus: (repeat)

Chorus: it's about that time, better be movin' on
Get outa here, you better be movin' on
Well that's all she wrote, you better be movin' on
