'Long About Midnight

Oh, along about midnight

When you feel the world has turned you down

Yes, along about midnight

When you feel the world has turned you down

Well, you haven't got a friend

You just roam and roam from town to town

When I was making lots of money

Had a girl who seemed sincere and true

Yes, when I was making lots of money

Had a girl who seemed sincere and true

But now all my hard earned money's gone

And that no good woman has gone, too

Well, I've made up my mind

If you want somebody else

Go on, may God bless you

Have fun for yourself

Someday, baby

You'll know what a fool you've been

You're a no good, mean and evil woman

And I'm glad, glad this is the end

When mother was living

I could take this world at ease

When my poor, poor, poor mother was living

I could take this mean old world at ease

Oh, but now she's dead and gone

Freight trains are my only home

Freight trains are my only home
