Lyrics
Well, Judge looked down, gave me 40 days
Instead of the fine that I could not pay
Said walk right, you'll soon be home
Cross the line and you're on your own
40 Days of shotguns and barbed wire fences
40 nights to sit an listen to the midnight train to Memphis
Well now, whistle blows when the sun comes up
Head to floor keep your big mouth shut
Eat your breakfast on the ground
Work like hell 'til the sun goes down
40 days of shotguns and barbed wire fences
40 nights to sit an listen to the midnight train to Memphis
Well now, ten for the jury, ten for the judge
20 more to forget my grudge
When I get to 39
That's the longest day in a prisoner's mind
40 days of shotguns and barbed wire fences
40 nights to sit an listen to the midnight train to Memphis
Midnight train to Memphis
Midnight train to Memphis
On the midnight train to Memphis
Writer(s): Mike Henderson, Christopher Stapleton
