Oh, let the midnight special Shine her light on me Let the midnight special Shine her ever loving light on me Yonder come miss Rosie How in the world do you know? Now you know her by her apron And the dress she wore Umbrella on her shoulder Piece of paper in her hand She's gonna see the governor She wants to release her man Oh, let the midnight special Shine her light on me Let the midnight special Shine her ever loving light on me (Yes sir) When you get up in the mornin' And the big bell ring You go marchin' to the table Well, it's the same old thing Four folks on the table And nothin' in the pan If you say anything about it You has trouble with the man Let the midnight special Shine her light on me Let the midnight special Shine her ever loving light on me (Let's go) (Yes sir) If you ever go to Houston Well, you better walk right You better not squabble And you better not fight That cop will arrest you And he'll sure take you down And you can bet your bottom dollar You're jailhouse bound Let the midnight special Shine her light on me Let the midnight special Shine her ever loving light on me (Yes sir) Oh, let the midnight special Shine the light on me Let the midnight special Shine the ever loving light on me Just hit the the midnight special Shine her light on me Let the midnight special Shine her ever loving light on me
