Midnight Special Lyrics - Lonnie Donegan

Let the midnight special 

Let the midnight special 

Shine its light on me 

Shine a light on me, 

Let the midnight special 

Let the midnight... 

Shine its ever-loving light on me 

Ever loving light on me. 

Yonder come miss Rosey, 

How in the world do you know, 

How in the world do you know ? 

Well, I know her by her apron 

And the dress she wore. 

Umbrella on her shoulder, 

A piece of paper in her hand, 

She gonna tell old John 

She want back her man, 

She want back her man. 

Let the midnight special 

Let the midnight special 

Shine its light on me 

Shine a light on me. 

Let the midnight special 

Let the midnight... 

Shine its ever-loving light on me 

Ever loving light on... 

If you ever go to Houston, 

Yeah, you better walk right, 

You'd better not gamble 

And sure thing better not fight. 

The next thing you know 

The sheriff gonna arrest you 

And some judge send you down 

And you can bet your bottom dollar 

Lord, you'll be chain gang bound, 

Chain gang bound. 

Let the midnight special 

Let the midnight 

Shine its light on me 

Shine, shine, shine, shine, 

Let the midnight special 

Shine on, 

Shine its ever-loving light on me 

Shine on me, yeah. 

Let the midnight special 

Shine, shine, shine, 

Shine its light on me 

Shine, shine on me, 

Let the midnight special 

Way into midnight, 

Shine its ever-loving light on me 

Way into midnight, baby, 

Let the midnight special 

Waah...
