Yonder come miss Rosey,
How in the world do you know,
I can tell her by her apron
And the dress she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder,
A piece of paper in her hand,
And she gonna ask the midnight
Please release my mind
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever-loving light on me
If you ever go to Houston,
Yeah, you better walk right,
You'd better not gamble
And you better not fight.
The sheriff gonna arrest you
Take the lunatic down
And the judge wanna tell you
You sugar land down
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever-loving light on me
When the things end up in the morning
And the things go ring
Those magics on the table mean the same damn thing
I've held it on a stable
Listen to my plan
Don't even say anything about it
It's of a wisdom man
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever-loving light on me
We'll look and jump in to the...
This we gonna find out
And you gonna be jumping to the whole damn world
You bowlin in the morning
Yes it went for days
And you brought me the news
That my wife was dead
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever-loving light on me
When I begin green thing
Hop in holy and then cry
And I begin wondering
Far for great long time
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever-loving light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever-loving light on me
