Midnight Freight Train
© 2008 Ronnie Lee Hurst
Hey, midnight freight train
I can hear your whistle blow
Yeah, midnight freight train
I can hear your whistle blow
Rollin' down the line
Destination, I don't know
Hey midnight freight train
Have you seen that gal of mine
I said, midnight freight train
Have you seen that gal of mine
You know, she took my heart
And left me here behind
Is she bound for Georgia
Or off to Tennessee
Is she gone for good
Or, on her way back to me
Oh, midnight freight train
Let your whistle blow
Rollin' down the line
Destination, I don't know
Hey, midnight freight train
What am I supposed to do
Tell me, midnight freight train
What am I supposed to do
Since she's been gone
All I've been is blue
Is she bound for Georgia
Or off to Tennessee
Is she really gone for good
Or on her way back here to me
Fright train, let your whistle blow
Rollin' down the line
Destination, I don't know
Rollin' down the line
Destination, I don't know
I don't know

This is a tune inspired by the great Jimmy Rodgers. I was introduced to Jimmy Rodger's music by Merle Haggard's tribute album to the Blue Yodler.
