The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio is an American folk and pop music group that helped launch the folk revival of the late 1950s to late 1960s. The group started as a San Francisco Bay Area nightclub act with an original lineup of Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds. It rose to international popularity, fueled by unprecedented sales of 33⅓ rpm long-playing record albums (LPs), and helped to alter the direction of popular music in the U.S. more »

[Chorus]
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.

[Chorus]

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 goin' shake 
But they got you on a big chain, so you can't escape.

[Chorus]

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!

[Chorus: x2]
