I have
been all around
C

my old hometown
I have searched everywhere

of my girl in this place
So there's nothing to do but go
I'll be ridin' that midnight
C

train when it's leavin'
D 
and I'm goin' away to stay

Oh, she said she'd be true
C 
G 
till the fighting was through
D 
Said she'd wait for me till the end

C 
G 
and her sweet love is through
So I'm catching the train again
I'll be riding that midnight train
C

when it's leaving

And I'm going away to stay

Always wanted to know

Gonna go where it goes today

When she hears this old song,
C 
G 
she will know that she's wrong
D 
Cause I'm leaving my old hometown
G 
Oh, she told me she'd wait
C 
G 
just to be my sweet mate
Then she threw down my
heart to the ground
C 
I'll be ridin' that midnight train

when he's leavin'

And I'm goin' away to stay
G 
Always wanted to know

I have seen that old train

pullin' out in the rain
Seen it leavin' with stars above
D 
G 
Like a hound on the trail,
C 
G 
it carries the mail
D 
G 
It will take me away from that love
I'll be ridin' that midnight
C 
G 
train when he's leavin'
D 
and I'm goin' away to stay
G 
Always wanted to know
C 
G 
where the engine did go,
gonna go where it goes today
