Midnight Flyer
Kate Wolf
Ton : G
In the dark IAm hear the whistle the rumble of the cars
The lFonesome midnight flyer pGast the late night bars
PAmulling sixty box-cars and hEmeading through our town
TFearing up the night with a lGong lonesome sound
ICt's been a long year since I tAmhought about the train
The gFreyhound and the highway tGook me where I've been
LAmate at night I hear the sound the hEmumming of the rails
The lFonesome midnight flyer taking hGigh wind in her sails
HAmere comes the midnight flyer
SEmet your watches by her
WFheels rolling coming in on tGime
NAmo one pays her no mind nEmo one hears her crying
'Cept sFome old man bumming down the lGine
HAmere comes the midnight flyer tell me how do you know?
'Cause I hFeard her long whistle mGoan so soft and low
WAmheels clicking on the rails in the sEmtillness of the night
The eFngineer's pulling cord untGil he gets it right
SChe's rolling through the back yards the sAmleepers in the night
On the oFutskirts of town hGeadlight burning bright
And she's pAmulling sixty box-cars and anEmother railroad bum
Who hFeard her whistle blow and cGaught her on the run
HAmere comes the midnight flyer
SEmet your watches by her
WFheels rolling coming in on tGime
NAmo one pays her no mind nEmo one hears her crying
'Cept sFome old man bumming down the lGine
