Midnight Special Lyrics


Let the midnight special
Let the midnight special
Shine it's light on me
Shine a light on meLet the midnight special
Let the midnight
Shine it's ever loving light on me
Ever loving light on meYonder 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 woreUmbrella on her shoulder
A piece of paper in her hand
She gonna tell old John
She want back her man, she want back her manLet the midnight special
Let the midnight special
Shine it's light on me
Shine a light on meLet the midnight special
Let the midnight

Shine it's ever loving light on me
Ever loving light onIf you ever go to Houston
Yeah, you better walk right
You'd better not gamble
And sure thing better not fightThe 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 boundLet the midnight special
Let the midnight
Shine it's light on me
Shine, shine, shine, shineLet the midnight special
Shine on
Shine it's ever loving light on me
Shine on me, yeahLet the midnight special
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine it's light on me
Shine on meLet the midnight special
Way into midnight
Shine it's ever loving light on me
Way into midnight, baby

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
George Ivan Morrison (generally known as Van Morrison) (born 31 August 1945) is a Grammy Award-winning artist from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He's a singer, songwriter, author, poet, and multi-instrumentalist, who has been a professional musician since 1958. He plays a variety of instruments, including the guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums, and saxophone. Featuring his characteristic growl - a unique mix of folk, blues, Irish, scat, and Celtic influences - Morrison is widely considered one of the most unusual and influential vocalists in the history of rock and roll.

Known as "Van the Man" by his fans, Morrison first rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Northern Irish band Them, writing their 1964 hit "Gloria". A few years later, Morrison left the band for a successful solo career, starting with the album Astral Weeks.

Morrison has pursued an idiosyncratic musical path. Much of his music is tightly structured around the conventions of American soul and R&B, such as the popular singles "Brown Eyed Girl", "Moondance", "Domino", and "Wild Night". An equal part of his catalogue consists of lengthy, loosely connected, spiritually inspired musical journeys that show the influence of Celtic tradition, jazz, and stream-of-consciousness narrative, such as his classic album Astral Weeks and lesser known works such as Veedon Fleece and Common One. The two strains together are sometimes referred to as "Celtic Soul," and Morrison rejects the characterization of his genre of music as Rock, citing Elvis Presley as a non-influence.

He continues to perform regularly, and achieved his highest U.S. chart position (number ten on the Billboard 200) with his latest album, Keep It Simple.
