No matter what I say or do You're never satisfied I've tried and tried so many times I'm leavin' you now, goodbye I'm ridin' on that midnight train My head's a-hangin' low These awful blues will follow me Wherever I may go Oh, why on earth was I ever born? I'll never understand To fall in love with a woman like you In love with another man I'm ridin' on that midnight train My head's a-hangin' low These awful blues will follow me Wherever I may go You broke the heart that trusted you Why wasn't it made of stone? I'm left in a world black as night Yet I must travel on I'm ridin' on that midnight train My head's a-hangin' low These awful blues will follow me Wherever I may go I'm ridin' on that midnight train My head's a-hangin' low These awful blues will follow me Wherever I may go
