Midnight Bus

Midnight Bus - John D. Loudermilk

Me and my baby

We left on the midnight bus

Pulled out of Durham

And left in a cloud of dust

Headed for the border of North and South Caroline

This time tomorrow she'll be mine

After we had ridden for a while

On the midnight bus

We fell out and had an awful fuss

Said goodbye

And I pulled the buzzer chord

I got off and the driver slammed the door

Standin' in the highway

Holdin' my suitcase tight

Watching that midnight bus pull out of sight

She's gone

My baby's gone and I'm alone

She's gone

My baby's gone and I'm alone

Left and lost

My baby on the midnight bus

Left and lost

My baby on the midnight bus

She's gone

My baby's gone and I'm alone

She's gone

My baby's gone and I'm alone
