Well train, train
Take me on out of this town
Train, train, lord
Take me on out of this town
Well that woman I'm in love with
Lord, she's Memphis bound

Oh leavin' here
I'm just a raggedy hobo
Lord, I'm leavin' here
I'm just a raggedy hobo
Well that woman I'm in love with
Lord, she's got to go

Goodbye, pretty mama
Get yourself a money man
Goodbye, pretty mama
Lord, get yourself a money man
You take that midnight train to Memphis
Lord, leave me if you can
Oh take that midnight train to Memphis
Lord, leave me if you can
Oh take that train, baby
