The 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.» |
| 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 |
