       Em                                 A
Well, judge looked down, gave me forty days
E                                       A
Instead of the fine that I could not pay
E                                    A
Said "Walk right, you'll soon be home
E                                    A
Cross the line, you'll be on your own"

Chorus:
       D                                   E A E A
Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences
       B
Forty nights to sit and listen
A                         E   A E G
To the midnight train to Memphis

Well now, whistle blows when the sun comes up
Head to floor, keep your big mouth shut
Eat your breakfast on the ground
Work like hell till the sun goes down

Chorus

Well now, ten for the jury, 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

Chorus

Midnight train to Memphis
Midnight train to Memphis
Oh, Midnight train to Memphis
