《Midnight Train》歌词

[00:00:00] Midnight Train - The Charlie Daniels Band

[00:00:29] Midnight train roll on

[00:00:35] Midnight train roll on

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

[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 rumblin' through the night heading south to Santa Fe

[00:01:02] And in a fancy car with a private bar and a personal valet

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

[00:01:09] Bettin' hot stakes all around

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

[00:01:15] A hand of cards and ole Stagger Lee Crocket had a gun in his pocket

[00:01:18] Was sweatin' bettin' hard and over in the corner this Mexican guy

[00:01:21] With two gold teeth and a patch on his eye took a long hard look around

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

[00:01:29] Said "Dont y'all get excited I know this heres a private game

[00:01:31] And I know I wasnt invited but I got a roll thatd choke a mule

[00:01:34] Im 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 cutthroats 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 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 blowin'

[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

[00:02:26] And the pot-belly fellow drew a pair of queens but the stranger

[00:02:29] He drew aces and he kept on raising and pushin' his luck

[00:02:32] Kept on winning like a run away truck he was giving them a beating

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

[00:02:39] Kept getting hot till every cent everybody had was lying out in the pot

[00:02:44] And then the stranger threw down a royal flush somebody said

[00:02:46] Hey man thats enough friend I think youve been cheatin'"

[00:02:50] And then the stranger picked the money up and said "Boys I better run

[00:02:53] And then the pot-bellied fella pulled a razor out somebody pulled a gun

[00:02:57] They said You may think youre a sly old fox youre gonna leave here

[00:03:00] In a long pine box if you dont leave that money alone"

[00:03:03] Just about then the lights went out and they all started fussin'

[00:03:06] And the lights came on the stranger was gone they all started cussin'

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

[00:03:12] That stranger he done disappeared and all their money was gone

[00:03:17] When the train pulled in the station with the whistle blowin' loud

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

[00:03:24] Said Thank you for the money boys but dont feel too outdone

[00:03:27] 'Cause it takes a dog to know a dog Im a howlin' son of a gun

[00:03:31] Midnight train roll on

[00:03:35] (Roll on roll on)

[00:03:37] Midnight train roll on

[00:03:41] (Roll on roll on)

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

[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

[00:03:59] Oh he's long gone
