Riding That Midnight Train (A)

(Ralph Stanley)



   I(A)
No matter what I say or do
       IV(D) I(A)
You're never satisfied
     I(A)
I've tried and tried so many times
                V(E)     I(A)
I'm leaving you now, goodbye

    (Chorus)
    I'm riding on that midnight train
    My head's a-hanging low
    These awful blues will follow me
    Wherever I may go

Oh why on earth was I ever born
I'll never understand
To fall in love with a woman like you
In love with another man

    (Chorus)

You broke a heart that trusted you
Why wasn't it made of stone
You left me here in this world of night
And I must travel alone

    (Chorus)
