Midnight Special

Johnny Rivers

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

Oh, let the Midnight Special
Shine her light on me
Let the Midnight Special
Shine her ever lovin light on me

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

Oh, let the Midnight Special
Shine her light on me
Let the Midnight Special
Shine her ever lovin light on me

Now here comes jumpin' Judy
I'll tell you how I know
You know, Judy brought jumpin'
To the whole wide world

Oh, let the Midnight Special
Shine her light on me
Let the Midnight Special
Shine her ever lovin light on me
