Well the midnight train can come and go without me;
No I don't need no taxi back to town.
I think I'll just stay right here in this deep old light,
I was supposed to meet someone here tonight,
I'm sittin' here thinking,
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal.

Well, I don't mind the rain; I never even noticed
And I don't feel the cold, it wouldn't matter anyhow,
As a matter of fact I could stay until the break of day,
I don't see as I'm in anybody's way;
I'm just sittin' here thinkin',
Waiting on a dark eyed gal.

She said she'd meet me at the station,
I don't believe she'll keep me waiting very long
Very long.

She never told me if she was coming with me
Or if she only meant to say her last farewell
Never was one to let me know her mind
So I'll stay right here, keep doing my time
Just sitting here thinkin',
Waiting on a dark eyed gal.

The midnight train has come and gone without me now,
But I don't need no taxi back to town.
Matter of fact I could stay until the break of day
I don't see as I'm in anybody's way
Now I'm sittin' here thinkin',
Waiting on a dark eyed gal;
Yes I'm just sitting here drinkin',
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal.
