Midnight Special - The Kingston Trio

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

Oh, let the midnight special, shine her light on me.

Oh, let the midnight

special shine her everlovin' light on me

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 gonna shake but they got you

on a big chain, so you can’t escape

Oh, let the midnight special, shine her light on me.

Oh, let the midnight

special shine her everlovin' light on me

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!

Oh, let the midnight special, shine her light on me.

Oh, let the midnight

special shine her everlovin' light on me

Oh, let the midnight special, shine her light on me.

Oh, let the midnight

special shine her everlovin' light on me
