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
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
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
