Kate Wolf - Midnight Flyer
In the Amdark I hear the whistle, the rumble of the cars
The Flonesome midnight flyer, Gpast the late night bars
AmPulling sixty box-cars and Emheading through our town
FTearing up the night with a Glong lonesome sound
CIt's been a long year since I Amthought about the train
The Fgreyhound and the highway Gtook me where I've been
AmLate at night I hear the sound, the Emhumming of the rails
The Flonesome midnight flyer taking Ghigh wind in her sails
CHORUS:
AmHere comes the midnight flyer
EmSet your watches by her
FWheels rolling, coming in on Gtime
AmNo one pays her no mind, Emno one hears her crying
'Cept Fsome old man bumming down the Gline
AmHere comes the midnight flyer, tell me how do you know?
'Cause I Fheard her long whistle Gmoan so soft and low
AmWheels clicking on the rails in the Emstillness of the night
The Fengineer's pulling cord unGtil he gets it right
CShe's rolling through the back yards, the Amsleepers in the night
On the Foutskirts of town, Gheadlight burning bright
And she's Ampulling sixty box-cars and aEmnother railroad bum
Who Fheard her whistle blow and Gcaught her on the run
CHORUS:
AmHere comes the midnight flyer
EmSet your watches by her
FWheels rolling, coming in on Gtime
AmNo one pays her no mind, Emno one hears her crying
'Cept Fsome old man bumming down the Gline
