 CHORUS

 Meet me at midnight, Mary, same place we always go

 Meet me at midnight, Mary, and don't let anyone know

 Don't let anyone know

 

 Your Daddy says I'm a bad boy

 And you've no future with me

 So we can only get together

 By meeting secretly

 

 CHORUS

 

 Just got a job on the railroad (diddy-dum-dum)

 The work is hard and long (diddy-um-dum)

 But I'm gonna build us a future

 And show your Daddy he's wrong

 

 CHORUS

 

 Soon as I have some money (diddy-dum-dum)

 For a home and everything (diddy-um-dum)

 We won't have to keep it a secret

 That you've got my wedding ring

 

 Meet me at midnight, Mary, same place we always go

 Meet me at midnight, Mary, and don't let anyone know

 Don't let anyone know

 (Don't let anyone) Don't let anyone know-oh-oh
