Lyrics:

Some say that love’s a gentle thing
But it’s only brought me pain
“Cause the only one I ever did love
Has gone with the midnight train

I never will marry, never take me a wife
I expect to live single all the rest of my life

The train pulled out the whistle blew
With a low and a lonesome mourn
She’s gone, she’s gone like the midnight dew
And left me here alone

I never will marry, never take me a wife
I expect to live single all the rest of my life

There’s many a change in the winter wind
And a change in the clouds design
There’s many a change in a young girls heart
But never a change in mine

I never will marry, never take me a wife
I expect to live single all the rest of my life
Lyrics for the version sung by Odetta and Nana Mouskori:

They say that love's a gentle thing
But it's only brought me pain
For the only man I ever loved
Has gone on the morning train

I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life

Well the train pulled out
The whistle blew
With a long and a lonesome moan
He's gone he's gone like the morning dew
And left me all alone

I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life

Well there's many a change in the winter wind
And a change in the clouds' design
There's many a change in a young man's heart
But never a change in mine

I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life
