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 the North and
the South Caroline
This time tomorrow
he'll be mine
After we had travelled
for a while on
the midnight bus
We fell out and
had an awful fuss
Said goodbye
I pulled the
buzzer chord
I got off and the driver
slammed the door
Standin' on the highway,
holdin' my suitcase tight
Watching that midnight
bus pull out of sight
He's gone,
my baby's gone
and I'm alone
He's gone,
my baby's gone
and I'm alone
Loved and lost my baby
on the midnight bus
Loved and lost my baby
on the midnight bus
He's gone,
my baby's gone
and I'm alone
He's gone,
my baby's gone
and I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
