My daddy was a gambler
He gambled with his life
He didn't give a damn about his wife
So she left him in the night time
While hiding from the rain
I was born, on the midnight train
She left him in the night time
While hiding from the rain
I was born, on the midnight train
Grew up a desperado
Grew hair on my chest
They said I was the terror of the west
Well I didn't have no money
And I didn't have no brain
So I robbed, the midnight train
I didn't have no money
And I didn't have no brain
So I robbed, the midnight train
Well the sheriff formed a posse, apaches on my trail
He said "hey dude, I'll throw you in my jail!"
Now I'm sitting here tied
To a ball and chain
I've been caught, on the midnight train
They made me work the railroad
For 16 hours a day
I knew I just had to get away
Now how I pulled it off
I still can't explain
But I escaped, the midnight train
How I pulled it off
I still can't explain
But I escaped, the midnight train
Now if you would have been there
Aboard the midnight train
He was rumoured to have died or gone insane
Then somebody'd be smiling
No one knew his name
But he was born, on the midnight train
Then somebody'd be smiling
No one knew his name
But he was born, on the midnight train
