Midnight Train To Memphis

Welll 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 youre on your own

40 day's ____________________

40 nights to sit and listen

to the midnight train to memphis

well now the whistle blows when the sun comes up

hit the floor keep you big mouth shut

eat your breakfast on the ground

work like hell till the sun goes down

40 days ________________

40 nights to sit and listen

to the midnight train to memphis

Well now 10 for the jury 10 for the judge

20 more to forget my grudge

when i get to 39

thats the longest day in a prisoner's mind
