Lyrics Midnight Special - The Kingston Trio

Midnight Special

Oh, let the midnight special, shine her light on me.
Oh, let the midnight
special shine her everlovin' light on me
Well, if you ever go to Texas you better walk straight.
You better not stop.
Hey!
You better not wait
For the sheriff will arrest you and your head he’ll pound.
You’ll wake up in
the morning;
the prison walls all around
Oh, let the midnight special, shine her light on me.
Oh, let the midnight
special shine her everlovin' light on me
Well, you wake up in the morning and they take you to the train.
You better answer to the captain when he calls your name
Then your guts are gonna get you and your body’s gonna shake but they got you
on a big chain, so you can’t escape
Oh, let the midnight special, shine her light on me.
Oh, let the midnight
special shine her everlovin' light on me
Yonder comes my woman.
How in the world do I know?
Well, I know her by her
wiggle and the dress she wore
The last time that I was with her, she made me jump and shout.
I’m gonna whip
that captain.
Watch me jump on out!
Oh, let the midnight special, shine her light on me.
Oh, let the midnight
special shine her everlovin' light on me
Oh, let the midnight special, shine her light on me.
Oh, let the midnight
special shine her everlovin' light on me
