[Verse]
       F#
On The Midnight Express As The Train Rattled On
                               B
All The Passengers Had Gone To Bed
                   C#m        F#
All Save One Young Man With A Babe On His Knee
        G#7          C#7        F#
Who Sat There With A Bowed Down Head
    F#
The Innocent One Commenced Crying Just Then
                                B
As Though It's Poor Heart Would Break
              C#m                F#
When An Angry Man Said Make That Child Stop It's Noise
     G#7        C#7   F#
It's Keeping Us All A-wake

       F#
Put It Out Said Another Don't Keep It In Here
                                   B
We've Paid For Our Berths And Want Rest
            C#m           F#
But Never A Word Said The Man With The Child
      G#7        C#7          F#
As He Fondled It Close To His Chest

   F#
Oh Where Is It's Mother Go Take It To Her
                          B
A Young Woman Softly Then Said
                   C#m           F#
Wish To God That I Could Was The Man's Sad Reply
          G#7         C#7   F#
But She's Dead In The Van A-head

          B            F#          B
While The Train Rolled Onwards The Husband Sat In Tears
C#7                          F#
Thinking Of The Happiness Of Just A Few Short Years
       B           F#            B
Baby's Face Brings Pictures Of A Cherished One Who's Dead
    F#
But Baby's Cries Can't Waken Her
       C#7           F#   C#7   F#   F#
In The Luggage Van A-head
