There's a morning train Headed for New Orleans Carrying business men and week day shoppers I have sixteen bucks and a dollar in change That's not a bad price for a one way ride On a morning train
I give you my devotion You left me heartsick Oh, you couldn't have hurt me more Not workin' with a night stick Now I'm tired of sharin' this bed of nails So come first light I'm gonna be right With the mornin' train
CHORUS: So good-bye lover, I'm goin' undercover Crescent City's gonna swallow me Gonna skip my ring 'cross the Mississippi River When it sinks I won't feel a thing When it sinks I won't feel a thing
I'm gonna be stayin' With a short time acquaintance When I met him he was playin' On the gulf breeze circuit He didn't play no hit songs or TV themes He's a guitar man just a hired hand From a local band
CHORUS: So good-bye lover, I'm goin' undercover Crescent City's gonna swallow me Gonna skip my ring 'cross the Mississippi River When it sinks I won't feel a thing When it sinks I won't feel a thing
BRIDGE: The whistles blowin' clear and loud
When I hit the station I'll take a taxi to the corner I'm gonna meet him by a street car Name of what-cha-ma-call-it My imagination Won't let us miss a thing Life's gonna be fine when I leave him behind On a mornin' train
