Coming Down The Line

Writers: Geary Allen, Jerry Salley

Vs1)
I can almost smell the black smoke just around the bend
Getting closer, bringing my sweet baby back again
Counting down the minutes now till she rolls into sight
That midnight train's a-coming down, a-coming down the line

Chorus)
Here comes that midnight train
These missing you blues are almost gone
Mister engineer I'm waitin' here, please bring her in on time
That midnight train's a-coming down, a-coming down the line

Vs2)
I'm standing at the station now, I know it won't be long
Till she's back here in my arms right here where she belongs
It's been lonesome here without her, Lord, I've almost lost my mind
That midnight train's a-coming down, a-coming down the line

Chorus

Vs3)
Boys, won't you listen to me and hear the words I say
If got a gal you love then don't you let her go astray
You'll spend your days a waiting for that lonesome whistle whine
For that midnight train a-coming down, a-coming down the line
