Yonder comes Miss Rosie, how in the world do you know? Well, I know her by the apron and the dress she wore Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand Well, I'm goin' and ask the governor, he turnin' loose my man Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me Now let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me When you gets up in the morning, when that big bell ring You go to marching to the table, where you meet the same damn thing Knife and fork are on the table, there's nothing in my pan And if you said a thing about it, havin' trouble with the man Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me Oh, let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me Well I went to the nation and to Terry Jo But I thought about the a I love, lived in Mexico Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me Now, let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me If you ever go to Houston, oh you better walk right And you better not squabblue and you better not fight Bashin' Bronco will arrest you, Eddie Boone will take you down You can bet your bottom dollar, penitentiary bound Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me Now, let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me Well, jumpin' little Judy, she was a mighty fine girl Well, Judy brought jumpin' to this whole round world Well, she brought it in the mornin', just a while before day She brought me the news, that my wife was dead That started me to grievin', then hollerin' and a-cryin' Then I was gettin' worried, 'bout it's been a long time Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me Let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me
