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.

Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners.

- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
