[Verse 1]
You'll hear the wheels
You'll hear the rain
You'll hear the cry
Of the midnight train

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You'll hear the locomotive
Come a-rollin' on
I'm gone
I'm on my way
On the midnight train

[Chorus]
Can't you hear the whistle callin'
"I won't be back"?
You can see me cannonballin'
On down the track
It's a lonesome road
Just a midnight train
And a wearisome load

[Verse 2]
I'll keep on a-movin'
While I'm in my prime
The wheels keep a-rollin'
To the end of the line
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm gonna keep on movin'
As the days go by
Good bye
I'm on my way
On the midnight train

[Chorus]
Can't you hear the whistle callin'
"I won't be back"?
You can see me cannonballin'
On down the track
It's a lonesome road
Just a midnight train
And a wearisomе load
