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
