Midnight Special

Let the midnight special

Let the midnight special

Shine it's light on me

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Let the midnight

Shine it's ever loving light on me

Ever loving light on me

Yonder come miss Rosey

How in the world do you know?

How in the world do you know?

Well, I know her by her apron

And the dress she wore

Umbrella on her shoulder

A piece of paper in her hand

She gonna tell old John

She want back her man, she want back her man

Let the midnight special

Let the midnight special

Shine it's light on me

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Let the midnight

Shine it's ever loving light on me

Ever loving light on

If you ever go to Houston

Yeah, you better walk right

You'd better not gamble

And sure thing better not fight

The next thing you know the Sheriff gonna arrest you

Some judge send you down

And you can bet your bottom dollar

Lord, you'll be chain gang bound, chain gang bound

Let the midnight special

Let the midnight

Shine it's light on me

Shine, shine, shine, shine

Let the midnight special

Shine on

Shine it's ever loving light on me

Shine on me, yeah

Let the midnight special

Shine, shine, shine, shine

Shine it's light on me

Shine on me

Let the midnight special

Way into midnight

Shine it's ever loving light on me

Way into midnight, baby
