Some say that love's a gentle thing
But it's only brought me pain
For the only boy I ever did love
Has gone on the midnight train.
I never will marry,
I'll be no man's wife,
I intend to live single
All the days of my life.
The whistle blew when the train pulled out
With a long and lonesome moan
He is gone, he is gone like a morning dew
And he's left me here alone.
I never will marry,
I'll be no man's wife,
I intend to live single
All the days of my life.
There is many a change in a winter's wind
And a change in the cloud's design
And there's many a change in a young lad's heart
But there's nary a change in mine.
I never will marry,
I'll be no man's wife,
I intend to live single
All the days of my life.
I intend to live single
All the days of my life.
