Midnight Train To Memphis

Well, Judge looked down gave me fourty days Instead of the fine that I could not pay Said walk right you'll soon be home Cross the line and you're on your own Fourty Days of shotguns and barbed wire fences Fourty Nights to sit an listen to the midnight train to Memphis Well now, whistle blows when the sun comes up Head to floor keep your big mouth shut Eat your breakfast on the ground Work like hell till the sun goes down Fourty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences Fourty nights to sit an listen to the midnight train to Memphis Well now, 10 for the jury 10 for the judge 20 more to forget my grudge When I get to 39 Thats the longest day in a prisoner's mind Fourty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences Fourty nights to sit an listen to the midnight train to Memphis Midnight train to Memphis Midnight train to Memphis
