Midnight Train Lyrics - Roy Acuff

The sunshine comes from lonesome valley 

And all alone I must remain 

While far away through lonesome valley 

Comes a dying cry of the midnight train 

How many tears, how many sorrow? 

How many hearts are died in pain? 

Whose love today is gone tomorrow 

Carried away on that midnight train 

We shared our love in sweet surrender 

With happy tears and hidden pain 

For, well, we knew our dream was ending 

And you must go on that midnight train 

That heart burns low, the song is dying 

And only memories remain 

The teardrops flow, my heart keeps crying 

When I hear the wail of the midnight train
