Midnight Special |
| 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."/ |
| Chorus |
| 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./ |
| (Chorus) |
| If you ever go to Houston,/ |
| Boys, 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./ |
| (Chorus) |
| Well, jumping Little Judy,/ |
| She was a mighty fine girl./ |
| She brought jumping/ |
| To the 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 great long time. |
| (Chorus) |
