Midnight Train To Memphis |
| Well, judge looked down gave me forty days |
| Instead of the fine that I could not pay |
| Said walk right you’ll soon be home |
| Cross the line and you’re on your own |
| Fourty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences |
| Fourty nights to sit an listen to the midnight train to Memphis |
| Well now, whistle blows when the sun comes up |
| Head to floor keep your big mouth shut |
| Eat your breakfast on the ground |
| Work like hell till the sun goes down |
| Fourty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences |
| Fourty nights to sit an listen to the midnight train to Memphis |
| Well now, 10 for the jury 10 for the judge |
| 20 more to forget my grudge |
| When I get to 39 |
| That’s the longest day in a prisoner’s mind |
| Fourty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences |
| Fourty nights to sit an listen to the midnight train to Memphis |
| Midnight train to Memphis |
| Midnight train to Memphis |
| On the midnight train to Memphis |
