Now listen just a minute while I sing this song,
|
Don't you worry baby it won't take long.
|
I'm just about ready to draw the line,
|
So don't be surprised if I leave this time.
|
|
Well I'm goin' north and I'm goin' south
|
Don't want no more of your lyin' mouth.
|
I'm hittin' the road, gonna ring some bells,
|
Better know I can do it well.
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Midnight train, ramblin' ramblin'
|
All night long I'm gamblin', gamblin'
|
Been losin' all my money and it really is funny, umm badda dum.
|
Midnight train, ramblin' ramblin'
|
Al night I'm gamblin', gamblin'
|
Well tell you what baby, well you better be movin' on.
|
|
Well I really don't know where I'm goin' for sure,
|
Ain't gotta map, it ain't no tour.
|
Just headin' out to the open sky,
|
Who knows, might even die.
|
|
Well don't you worry your pretty little head
|
'Cause you never gave a dang what I did or said.
|
That's why I'm packin' to leave this place
|
Can't stand to look at your cheatin' face.
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Well you treated me like a little boy
|
And played around like I was a toy.
|
Guess you thought I'd have the blues,
|
Look whose cryin', guess you lose.
|
|
CHORUS (twice)
|
It's about that time, better be movin' on
|
|

|
1: Well I'm an angry man, I sing an angry song,
|
Tell you honey it won't be long,
|
Well I'll pack my bags, get outa here,
|
With my guitar and a case o' beer.
|
Well I'm goin' north and I'm goin' south,
|
Tell you honey, better shut you're mouth,
|
Well I'll kick your head from here to hell,
|
You better know I can do it well.
|
|
CHORUS: Midnight train, ramblin', ramblin',
|
All night long I'm a-gamblin', gamblin',
|
Losin' all my money well it really is funny, hon.

Midnight train, ramblin', ramblin',
|
All night long I'm a-gamblin', gamblin',
|
Tell you what'n baby well you better be movin' on.
|
|
2: Well I really don't know where I'm goin' for sure,
|
Ain't got a map, and it ain't no tour,
|
I'm just headin' out for the open sky,
|
Who knows? Might even die.
|
Well don't you worry your pretty little head,
|
I never give a damn what I did or said.

That's why I'm packin' to leave this place,
|
Can't stand look at your cheatin' face.

All night long I'm gambling, gambling.

All night long I'm gambling, gambling.
|
Tell you what'n baby, well you better be moving on.
