Here is a different version:

They say that love is a gentle thing,
But it only has caused me pain.
For the only girl I ever did love,
Has gone on that midnight train.

CHORUS: I never will marry, I'll take me no wife.
I expect to live single, all of my life.

The train pulled out and the whistle blew,
With a long and a lonesome moan,
She's gone, she's gone like the midnight dew,
Left me all alone.

(chorus)

There's many a change in the winter wind,
And a change in the cloud's design,
There's many a change in a young girl's heart,
But never a change in mine.

(chorus)
