The Midnight Special

Lyrics

Yonder come miss Rosey,
 How in the world do you know,
 I can tell her by her apron
 And the dress she wore.
 Umbrella on her shoulder,
 A piece of paper in her hand,
 And she gonna ask the midnight
 Please release my mind
 Let the midnight special
 Shine its light on me
 Let the midnight special
 Shine its ever-loving light on me
 If you ever go to Houston,
 Yeah, you better walk right,
 You'd better not gamble
 And you better not fight.
 The sheriff gonna arrest you
 Take the lunatic down
 And the judge wanna tell you
 You sugar land down
 Let the midnight special
 Shine its light on me
 Let the midnight special
 Shine its ever-loving light on me
 When the things end up in the morning
 And the things go ring
 Those magics on the table mean the same damn thing
 I've held it on a stable
 Listen to my plan
 Don't even say anything about it
 It's of a wisdom man
 Let the midnight special
 Shine its light on me
 Let the midnight special
 Shine its ever-loving light on me
 We'll look and jump in to the...
 This we gonna find out
 And you gonna be jumping to the whole damn world
 You bowlin in the morning
 Yes it went for days
 And you brought me the news
 That my wife was dead
 Let the midnight special
 Shine its light on me
 Let the midnight special
 Shine its ever-loving light on me
 When I begin green thing
 Hop in holy and then cry
 And I begin wondering
 Far for great long time
 Let the midnight special
 Shine its light on me
 Let the midnight special
 Shine its ever-loving light on me
 Let the midnight special
 Shine its light on me
 Let the midnight special
 Shine its ever-loving light on me
