I was listening to Merle Haggard's tribute album to the great Jimmy Rodgers and got inspired to write this one. Tigar Bell is on electric guitar and fiddle.

Midnight Freight Train
©2008 Ronnie Lee Hurst

Hey, midnight freight train, I can hear your whistle blow
Yeah, midnight freight train, I can hear your whistle blow
Rollin' down the line, destination I don't know

Hey midnight freight train, have you seen that gal of mine
I said, midnight freight train, have you seen that gal of mine
You know, she took my heart, and left me here behind

Is she bound for Georgia, or off to Tennessee
Is she gone for good or on her way back to me
Oh, midnight freight train, let your whistle blow
Rollin' down the line, destination I don't know

-Instrumental break-

Hey, midnight freight train, what am I supposed to do
Tell me, midnight freight train, what am I supposed to do
Since she's been gone, All I've been is blue

Is she bound for Georgia, or off to Tennessee
Is she really gone for good or on her way back here to me
Freight train, let your whistle blow
Rollin' down the line, destination I don't know
Rollin' down the line, destination I don't know, I don't know
