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
