The evening is lonesome, babe And the dead of night is cruel And I recall all the things we done You know I'm always loving you Sometimes I think that my train done gone The way all old things must do Yet I still wait for its return Just like I still wait for you And I still hear that old whippoorwill I've seen the ghost of a midnight train And I still love to walk alone Down by the old Union station in the rain Now I don't know where you are tonight but I feel you cross the miles And I'm still standing there inside your mind Just behind your pretty smile Chorus 2: Hey babe can't you hear that old whipporwill Have you seen the ghost on the midnight train Do you still love to to go alone Down by the old Union station in the rain Down by the old Montgomery station in the rain
