[00:00:29] Midnight train roll on

[00:00:35] Midnight train roll on

[00:00:42] Clear them tracks and keep that whistle blowing

[00:00:44] Take this stranger on to Santa Fe

[00:00:49] It seems like romance and danger

[00:00:51] Follow this here tall dark stranger all along the way

[00:00:59] Well the train was rumbling through the night

[00:01:01] Heading south to Santa Fe

[00:01:03] And in a fancy car with a private bar and a personal valet

[00:01:06] There was a bunch of cold eyed men a sitting at a poker table

[00:01:09] Betting hot stakes all around

[00:01:13] Ole Louisiana Lou had a knife in his shoe

[00:01:15] Was dealin' a hand of cards

[00:01:16] And ole stagger lee crochet had a gun in his pocket

[00:01:18] Was sweating Betting hard

[00:01:20] And over in the corner this Mexican guy with two gold

[00:01:22] Teeth and a patch on his eye

[00:01:23] Took a long hard look around

[00:01:26] And then the door flew open

[00:01:27] The stranger walked in and said don't ya'll get excited

[00:01:29] I know this here's a private game

[00:01:31] And I know I wasn't invited

[00:01:33] But I got a roll that'd choke a mule

[00:01:35] I'm just about a big enough fool to lay it all right down

[00:01:40] And everybody nodded as the stranger took his seat

[00:01:43] He knew this bunch of cutthroat's would be mighty hard to beat

[00:01:46] As the stranger knew then the toughest two by far were where he sat

[00:01:50] Was a pot belly fellow from south Alabama

[00:01:51] And a dude in a black felt hat

[00:01:53] Midnight train roll on

[00:01:59] Midnight train roll on

[00:02:06] Well clear them tracks and keep that whistle blowing

[00:02:08] Take this stranger on to Santa Fe

[00:02:13] It seems like romance and danger

[00:02:15] Follow this here tall dark stranger all along the way

[00:02:24] Well the stranger sat down he looked around at all them evil faces

[00:02:27] And the pot belly fellow drew a pair of queens

[00:02:29] But the stranger he drew aces

[00:02:30] And he kept on raising and pushing his luck

[00:02:32] Kept on winning like a run away truck

[00:02:34] He was giving them a beating

[00:02:37] And the stakes got higher than a Chinese kite

[00:02:39] The stranger kept getting hot

[00:02:40] Till every cent everybody had was lying out in that pot

[00:02:44] Then the stranger threw down a royal flush

[00:02:45] Somebody said

[00:02:46] Hey man that's enough friend I think you've been cheating

[00:02:50] And then the stranger picked the money up and said

[00:02:53] Boys I better run

[00:02:54] And then the bot bellyed fella pulled a razor out

[00:02:56] And somebody pulled a gun

[00:02:57] They said you may think you're a sly old fox

[00:02:59] You're gonna leave here in a long pine box

[00:03:01] If you don't leave that money alone

[00:03:04] Just about then the lights went out

[00:03:06] And they all started fussing

[00:03:07] And the lights came on the stranger was gone

[00:03:09] They all started cussing

[00:03:10] And they searched that train from front to rear

[00:03:12] The stranger he done disappeared

[00:03:14] And all their money was gone

[00:03:17] When the train pulled in the station

[00:03:19] With the whistle blowing loud

[00:03:20] A telegram was waiting from the stranger for the crowd

[00:03:24] Said thank you for the money boys

[00:03:25] But don't feel too outdone

[00:03:27] Cause it takes a dog to know a dog

[00:03:29] I'm a howling son of a gun

[00:03:31] Midnight train roll on

[00:03:37] Midnight train roll on

[00:03:44] Well clear them tracks and keep that whistle blowing

[00:03:46] Take this stranger on to Santa Fe

[00:03:51] It seems like romance and danger

[00:03:53] Follow this here tall dark stranger all along the way
