Midnight Train Lyrics

1st Verse

I’m a getting back my baby.

She’s coming home on that midnight train,

She’s coming back to see, nobody else but me

I’m a getting back my baby,

Just got a letter says she’s home tonight arriving 12.09,

I’ll be there right on time to take my baby home.

They ought a make it mandatory

That lovers never need to be, apart because a heart can’t take the strain.

There ought a be a Mambo band,

From Cuba or the Rio Grand all playing when she steps down from that train, never will we be, ever apart again.

2nd Verse.

I’m a getting back my baby, right now she’s thundering on down the track, she never meant to be, away so long from me.

I’m a getting back my baby, but will she love me like she did before, and will she feel the same, or does she think I’ve changed since she’s been gone.

MIDDLE 8

Speeding through the night just like a canon ball, she wonders will I be there do I care at all, she thinks of all the love and all the times we shared, that’s why she’s coming back because she knows I cared.

She thinks of all the loving and the high life she’s led, remembers leaving home and all the stuff she said, tears are welling up in side she’s starting to cry, love is like the dream she had, she knows it can die.

3rd VERSE

I’m waiting at the station now, there’s no one else but me around, its cold and my hearts beating oh so fast.

I hear it in the distance blow, its coming round the bend, soon I will know, if she loves me so.

The train pulls in, I hear her call a guard is shouting ‘All Aboard’, she’s running to me straight into my arms, never will we be, ever again apart,

I’m a getting back my baby, and as the train pulls off on down the line, next station there could be, another guy like me, who’s feeling just the same, all alone, waiting for that midnight train, oh oh oh yeah,

All alone, waiting for, that midnight train,

Ooh ooh ooh Yeah, ooh ooh ooh Yeah, ooh ooh ooh Yeah.
