Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yonder come Miss Rosie, how in the world do you know Well I knows by your apron and the dress she wore Umbrella on her shoulder, a piece of paper in her hand Well she gonna see the governor, he turn a-lose a-my man [Chorus] Let the midnight special, shine its light on me Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me [Verse 2] Now when you get up in the mornin', when that big bell ring You go and march to the table, and it's the samе damn thing Knives and forks are on the tablе, ain't nothin' in my pan You say anything about it, have trouble with the man [Chorus] Let the midnight special, shine its light on me Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me [Verse 3] Well jumpin' little Judy, she was a mighty fine girl Now Judy brought jumpin' to this whole round world Well she brought it in the mornin', just right before day She brought me the news, that my wife was dead Which started me to grievin', I done hollered and cried Then I begun to worry about a been a long time [Chorus] Let the midnight special, shine it light on me Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me Let the midnight special, ooh, shine it light on me Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me Let the midnight special, shine its light on me Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me [Verse 4] So if you ever go to Houston, boys you better walk right And you better not stagger and you better not fight Sheriff Broxton will arrest you, Eddie Boone will take you down And you can bet your bottom dollar, you're penitentiary bound [Chorus] Let the midnight special, shine it light on me Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me Let the midnight special, shine it light on me Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me Let the midnight special, ooh, shine its light on me Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me
