lyrics

Yonder come up Miss Rosie
How in the world do you know
Well, I know her by her apron and the dress she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder
Piece of paper in her hand
And I'm gonna ask the governor
Please Turn a-loose my man

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me

When you get up in the morning
When that big bell ring
Gonna march up to the table
See the same damn thing
Knife and fork are on the table
There’s nothing in my pan
Never say anything about it
Having trouble with the man

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me

Well I went in to the nation
And the territo
Thought about a girl I love
Live up in Chicago


Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
Oh let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me

If you ever go to Houston
Boys, you better walk right
And you better not quarrel
And you better not fight
Benson Crocker will arrest you
Eddie Boone will take you down
And you bet your bottom dollar
penitentiary bound

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me

Well, jumping Little Judy
was a mighty fine gal
Well Judy brought jumping
To the whole round world
Well, she brought it in the morning
Just before day
Well, she brought me the news
That my wife was dead
And That started me a grieving
Then, hollering, and crying
Then I had to give a worry
For a very long time

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me
