Lyrics
Judge looked down, gave me forty days
Said it was a fine that I could not pay
Said walk right, you'll soon be home
Cross the line, you'll be on your own
Forty days
Shotguns and barbed wire fences
Forty nights to sit and listen
To the midnight train to Memphis
Whistle blows when the sun comes up
Hit the floor, keep your big mouth shut
Eat your breakfast on the ground
Work like hell 'til the sun goes down
Forty days
Shotguns and barbed wire fences
Forty nights to sit and listen
To the midnight train to Memphis
Well, ten for the judge, ten for the judge
Twenty more to forget my grudge
When I get to thirty-nine
That's the longest day in a prisoner's mind
Forty days
Shotguns and barbed wire fences
Forty nights to sit and listen
To the midnight train to Memphis
Midnight train to Memphis
Midnight train to Memphis
Midnight train to Memphis
