Well the midnight train can come and go without me;
Oh I don't need no taxi back to town
I think I'll just stay right here in this deep old light
Was supposed to meet someone here tonight
Now I'm sittin here thinking
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal

No, I don't mind the rain; I never even noticed
And I don't feel the cold, it wouldn't matter anyhow
As a matter of fact I could stay till the break of day
I don't see as I'm in anybody's way;
I'm just sittin here thinking
Waiting on a dark eyed gal

She said she'd meet me at the station
Don't believe she'll keep me waiting very long
Very long
She never was one to let me know her mind
So I'll stay right here, just doing my time
Just sitting here thinking
Waiting on a dark eyed gal

Yeah, the midnight train has come and gone without me
I don't need no taxi back to town
I think I'll just stay right here in this deep old light
Was supposed to meet someone here tonight;
Now I'm sittin' here thinking
Waiting on a dark eyed gal;
Yeah I'm just sitting here thinking
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal
