Midnight Freight Train: Banjo
Lights in the city not a star in the sky, lights in the city not a star in the sky.
Midnight freight train goes creeping on by.
Hear that old diesel engine whining low, hear that old diesel engine whining low.
Going to hear that lonesome whistle when she blow.
That old freight train carries a heavy load, that old freight train carries a heavy load.
That engineer has got a long a lonesome road.
Hear that train just smoking round the bend, I hear that train just smokin’ round the bend.
Rolling through the lonesome mill town once again
