Well ju  dge looked down gave me forty days          
I  nstead of the fine that I could not pay          
S  aid "Walk right you'll soon be home          
C  ross the line you'll be on your own"         
 
 
Forty da  ys of shotguns and barbed wire fences                       
Forty ni  ghts to sit and listen
T  o the midnight train to M  emphis                
 
 
                 
        
 
 
W  ell now whistle blows when the sun comes u  p     
H  ead to floor keep your big mouth sh  ut    
E  at your breakfast on the grou  nd    
W  ork like hell till the sun goes dow  n     
 
 
Forty da  ys of shotguns and barbed wire fences                       
Forty ni  ghts to sit and listen
T  o the midnight train to M  emphis                
 
 
         
           
     
 
 
W  ell now then for the jury ten for the ju  dge   
T  wenty more to forge  t my gru  dge    
W  hen I get to thirty-n  ine   
T  hat's the longest day in a prisoner's mind        
 
 
Forty da  ys of shotguns and barbed wire fences                       
Forty ni  ghts to sit and listen
T  o the midnight train to M  emphis                
M  idnight train to Me  mphis         
M  idnight train to Me  mphis         
O  h Midnight train to Mem  phis
