Midnight Special by The Kingston Trio Lyrics

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
