My mama told me: Being in love
You'll never be alone
You'll find a woman
Someone to call your very own.
Then something bad went wrong
We couldn't get along
Pack all my bags and go
And just to let you know
That I'm leaving on the midnight train.
Leaving all my tears and pain
Leaving on the midnight train
You've got me going out of my mind.
My mama told me: Don't be a fool
You gotta look around
You'll find a woman
Someone to call your very own.
Then something bad went wrong
. . .
My mama told me: Being in love
. . .
My mama told me: Don't be a fool
. . .
You'll never be alone
You'll find a woman
Someone to call your very own.
Then something bad went wrong
We couldn't get along
Pack all my bags and go
And just to let you know
That I'm leaving on the midnight train.
Leaving all my tears and pain
Leaving on the midnight train
You've got me going out of my mind.
My mama told me: Don't be a fool

You'll find a woman
Someone to call your very own.
