Meet me at the station underneath the clock Carry an umbrella, no need to talk The man in the Homburg, hiding in the fog Will be watching Get yourself a ticket, go through the gate At seven forty-five precisely, don't be late If anybody follows, don't hesitate Keep on walking And take the night train to Munich Rumbling down the track After half an hour in the restaurant car Look for the conductor And there will be a stain on his tunic A paper underneath his arm Then you gotta pray that he doesn't look away Or you'll never, never, never come back. When you get the paper take a look inside On page twenty-seven there's a photo of a bride Underneath the story of a man who died In Morocco Memorize the article word for word The man in the Homburg understands the code Make sure the conversation isn't overheard They're around you Upon that night train to Munich Rumbling down the track After half an hour in the restaurant car Look for the conductor And there will be a stain on his tunic A paper underneath his arm Then you gotta pray that he doesn't look away Or you'll never, never, never come back. I really wouldn't ask if there was anybody else But I know you've got the knack of taking care of yourself They don't know your face so there won't be anyone Looking for you When you get to Munich we'll be waiting in the car Don't look around, just walk straight out If you don't show, I'm sorry for the pain I caused you Upon that night train to Munich Rumbling down the track After half an hour in the restaurant car Look for the conductor And there will be a stain on his tunic A paper underneath his arm Then you gotta pray that he doesn't look away Or you'll never, never, never come back.

When I was young I spent my summer days Playin' on the track The sound of the wheels Rollin' on the steel Took me out, took me back Big train from Memphis Big train from Memphis Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone Like no one before He let out a roar And I just had to tag along Each night I went to bed With the sound in my head And the dream was a song Big train from Memphis Big train from Memphis Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone Well I've rode 'em in And back out again You know what they say about trains But I'm tellin' you When that Memphis train came through This ol' world was not the same Big train from Memphis Big train from Memphis Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone.

I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain Goin' up on Heartbreak Hill Yes, I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain 'Cause I lost my will to live It was six o'clock yesterday mornin' When my sweet baby packed up to leave It was six o'clock yesterday evening And I ain't done nothin' but grieve Well, I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain Goin' up on Heartbreak Hill Yes, I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain 'Cause I lost my will to live I cried and I begged and I pleaded For my sweet baby not to go Like the leaf that's caught in a whirlwind Now I'm spinning out of control Yes, I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain Goin' up on Heartbreak Hill Yes, I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain 'Cause I lost my will to live Now what makes a man let a woman Turn him into a hollow shelf And run off and leave him behind her For whoever caught underneath her spell Yes, I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain Goin' up on Heartbreak Hill Yes, I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain 'Cause I lost my will to live
