The Midnight Special |
| One day, one day, Sir |
| I was walking along |
| I heard that special |
| Singing a lonesome song |
| Oh, let the Midnight Special |
| Shine her light on me |
| Let the Midnight Special |
| Shine her ever lovin light on me |
| If you ever go to Houston |
| You know you better walk right |
| You know you better not stagger |
| You know you better not fight |
| Because the sheriff will just arrest you |
| You know he’ll carry you down |
| And you can bet your bottom dollar |
| Oh Lord, you’re penitentiary bound |
| Yonder come little Rosie |
| How in the world do you know? |
| I can tell her by her apron |
| And the dress she wore |
| Umbrella on her shoulder |
| Piece of paper in her hand |
| Goes a marchin to the Captain |
| Says I want my man |
| Now here comes jumpin' Judy |
| I’ll tell you how I know |
| You know, Judy brought jumpin' |
| To the whole wide world |
| She brought it in the morning |
| Just about the break of day |
| You know, if I ever get to jumpin' |
| Oh Lord, I’ll up and jump away |
