| Yonder comes Miss Rosie. |
| How in the world do you know?
|
| Well, I know her by the apron and the dress she wore
|
| Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand
|
| Well, I’m callin' that Captain, «Turn a-loose my man.»
|
| Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
|
| Oh let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me
|
| When you gets up in the morning, when that big bell ring
|
| You go marching to the table, you meet the same old thing
|
| Knife and fork are on the table, ain’t nothing in my pan
|
| And if you say a thing about it, you have a trouble with the man
|
| Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
|
| Oh let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me
|
| If you ever go to Houston, boy, you better walk right
|
| And you better not squabble and you better not fight
|
| Benson Crocker will arrest you, Jimmy Boone will take you down
|
| You can bet your bottom dollar that you’re Sugarland bound
|
| Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
|
| Oh let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me
|
| Well, jumping Little Judy, she was a mighty fine girl
|
| She brought jumping to this whole round world
|
| Well, she brought it in the morning just a while before day
|
| Well, she brought me the news that my wife was dead
|
| That started me to grieving, whooping, hollering, and crying
|
| And I began to worry about my very long time
|
| Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
|
| Oh let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me |
