[Verse 1]
The midnight train and the forty train
Run all night long
The midnight train and the forty train
Run all night long

[Refrain]
They run
Until the break of day

[Verse 2]
The little wheels and the great big wheels
Turn all night long
The little wheels and the great big wheels
Turn all night long

[Refrain]
They turn
Until the break of day

[Verse 3]
The one you left and the one you love
Cries all night long
The one you left and the one you love
Cries all night long
[Refrain]
She cries
Until the break of day

[Verse 4]
This love of mine, little light of mine
Shines all night long
This love of mine, little light of mine
Shines all night long

[Refrain]
He shines
Until the break of day
It shines
Until the break of day
