Lyrics

Well, judge looked the down, gave me for ty days

in stead of the fine that I could not pay.

Said, “Walk right, you’ll soon be home.

that’s the Cross the line, you’ll be on your own.”

For ty days

of shot guns and barbed wire (CN.C.)fenc es.

For ty nights to sit and lis ten

to the mid night train to Mem phis.

Well, now whis tle the blows when the sun comes up.

in Head to more floor, keep your big mouth shut.

Eat your break fast on the ground.

that’s the Work like hell till the sun goes down.

For ty days

of shot guns and barbed wire (CN.C.)fenc es.

For ty nights to sit and lis ten

to the mid night train to Mem phis.

Well, now

Well, now

Mid night train to Mem phis.

Mid night train to Mem phis.

Oh, mid night train to Mem phis.
