[Verse 1]
Some say that love's a gentle thing
But it's only brought me pain
For the only boy I ever did love
Has gone on the midnight train

[Chorus]
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I intend to live single
All days of my life

[Verse 2]
The whistle blew when the train pulled out
With a long and lonesome moan
He is gone, he is gone like a morning dew
And he's left me here alone

[Chorus]
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I intend to live single
All days of my life

[Verse 3]
There is many a change in a winter's wind
And a change in a cloud's design
And there's many a change in a young lad's heart
But there's nary a change in mine
[Chorus]
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I intend to live single
All days of my life

[Outro]
I intend to live single
All days of my life
