Well times are getting hard and times are getting slack I told my baby I could ride track Now I'm riding them rails, cross the country I roam, While my baby sits at home alone Now I'm pulling a heavy load, it's a mighty hard burden, But it's all for my baby that I'm working Yeah it's all for that girl that I left at my home, Now forever I will roam There goes that train rolling down the track When later I got home my baby had gone, And her note said, "I can't stand to be alone I'm going to catch the midnight train and I'm rolling down the track, And I know that I won't never come back." There goes that train rolling down the track There goes that train rolling down the track
