- And a bullet sent him dying, and he cursed that moonless
night
-
- In that city, far across the plains,
- In that city, he could hear that midnight train down the
line;
-
- Choo choo choo.... he could hear that midnight train
-
- And now that lonesome cowboy is lain beneath the clay,
- His horses they're still waiting, for he is gone away;
-
- Now if you think the grass is greener on the far side of
the hill
- All you cowboys, take it easy, there's no grass there at
all.
- ..
- In that city, far across the plains,
- In that city, you'd better miss that midnight train, here
it comes
- choo choo choo... you'd better miss that midnight train
- choo choo choo... that train is coming for you.
