No matter what I say or do
You're never satisfied
I've tried and tried so many times
I'm leavin' you now, goodbye
I'm ridin' on that midnight train
My head's a-hangin' low
These awful blues will follow me
Wherever I may go
Oh, why on earth was I ever born?
I'll never understand
To fall in love with a woman like you
In love with another man
I'm ridin' on that midnight train
My head's a-hangin' low
These awful blues will follow me
Wherever I may go
You broke the heart that trusted you
Why wasn't it made of stone?
I'm left in a world black as night
Yet I must travel on
I'm ridin' on that midnight train
My head's a-hangin' low
These awful blues will follow me
Wherever I may go
I'm ridin' on that midnight train
My head's a-hangin' low
These awful blues will follow me
Wherever I may go
