Lyrics

Midnight Bus

Winchester

Ride me, ride me

Far and wide me

I'm young and I'm curious

Ride me, ride me

Tempt and try me

You sad old midnight bus

This cold dark night

Not a star's in sight

Oh the wind sure do raise a fuss

And the only fools on the road tonight

That's the fools on the midnight bus

Ride me, ride me

Far and wide me

I'm young and I'm curious

Ride me, ride me

Tempt and try me

You sad old midnight bus

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

Ride me, ride me

Far and wide me

I'm young and I'm curious

Ride me, ride me

Tempt and try me

You sad old midnight bus

Well now and then you'll wake up in

A little town where the good people sleep

And to see their homes so safe and so warm

Makes the midnight traveller weep

Ride me, ride me

Far and wide me

I'm young and I'm curious

Ride me, ride me

Tempt and try me

You sad old midnight bus
