Walking in the midnight rain

Thought I heard a Southbound train

Call your name, Nancy

Walking in the rain all day

Guess there weren't nobody going my way

They didn't stop at all

But I'll get back to you if I have to crawl

Nancy, I've told you in my letter

Things didn't appear to be no better at all

And this ol' highway's a hell of a line

Nancy, I've just spent my last dime to make this call

Oh, Nancy, I'll get back to you if I have to crawl

Oh, yeah

Oh, Nancy

Oh, yeah, ohh, yeah, yeah

I left my home for a job in the city

It's a crying shame, it's a pity

It ain't living' at all

Nobody knows my name

They don't even give a hang about me 't all

Nancy, baby, I'm getting back to you if I have to crawl

Ohh

Nancy, I've told you in my letter

Things didn't appear to be no better at all

This ol' highway's a hell of a line

Nancy, I've just spent my last dime to make this call

Nancy, baby, I'll get back to you if I have to crawl

Oh, yeah yeah, oh oh, yeah yeah

Oh, Nancy

Oh, Nancy
