Standing by the railroad,
waiting for a train I'm gonna catch that midnight train and never come back again
It's a lonesome feeling, sand mountain blue
I went to the gypsy just to hear
She said, that girl don't love you
and you better be on your way
You're gonna be sorry for
I don't know where to go,
any old place will do I'm leavin' old
Mountain, just gettin' away from you
You're gonna be sorry for
There's other girls around here
and I could love them too
But every time I saw you it'd
When it makes you lonesome to
hear that train -train blow
Then you will know I'm ridin'
but I didn't want you to go
Mountain, and rainin' kinda slow
Then maybe you'll remember
You're gonna be sorry for
I am just a poor boy, and work's my middle name I guess that's why you said goodbye,
but I love you just the same
sorry for breaking my heart
then maybe I'll come back
I hear that train a -coming,
it's humming down the track
It's a lonesome feeling, sand mountain blue
