lyrics

I can hear you weeping low, more a rasp than a whistle
While your smoke is overflowing on that Memphis line
I know your heart is cold but your rails keep burning
Like a catfish that's frying on the skillet

Darlin let me ride through your pouring rain
Baby you are my midnight train

Well by night I breathe your smoke, in the morning spit the coals
And the ashes from my teeth that you left me last night
I drink whiskey on the tracks by the general store
And some days I lay and dream about taking that train for a bride

(chorus)

And when they bury me on a rainy day
Least I can say I rode that train

(chorus)
