Midnight Train Lyrics

I was standin' at the station, ten to midnight in the rain I was mindin' my own bus'ness, waiting for that midnight train
Nobody in sight, starin' at my shoes, I took out my paper to find me some good news Mindin' my own bus'ness, when the ticket man calls my name Yeah, yeah, babe
There ain't no midnight train There ain't no midnight train There ain't no midnight train Comin' down the line
So I say, "If it ain't too much trouble, when's the local out of town?" His reply: "Two a.m." If I'm leavin' local-bound
I can catch it in forty minutes, [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/midnight-train-lyrics-buddy-guy.html ]

if I want to grab the express But the local trains are hard to come by, this time of night, more or less Listen, said
There ain't no midnight train There ain't no midnight train There ain't no midnight train Comin' down the line
So I stood for forty minutes, it was raining and it was cold When the express rolled down the track, I did not care where it was gonna go Yeah, yeah
He said There ain't no midnight train There ain't no midnight train There ain't no midnight train Comin' down the line
