Yonder comes 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
Well,I'm going to ask the governor
he 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 gets up in the morning
When that big bell ring
You go a-marchin' to the table
You see the same damn thing
Knife and fork are on the table
Ain't nothing in my pan
And if you say a thing about it
Have a 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 to the nation
And to the territory
Well,I thought about a girl I love
In that Mexico
Let the midnight special
Shine the light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine the ever-lovin' light on me
If you ever go to Houston
Oh you better walk right
And you better not squallow
And you better not fight
Sheriff will arrest you
Eddie Boone will take you down
You can bet your bottom dollar
Penitentiary bound
Let the midnight special
Shine the light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine the ever-lovin' light on me
Well, jumpin' little Judy
She was a mighty fine girl
Well,Judy brought jumping
To this whole round world
Well,she brought it in the morning
Just awhile before day
She brought me the news
That my wife was dead
That started me to grievin
Then hollerin' and a-crying
Then I had to give the
Worry about a been a long time
Let the midnight special
Shine the light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine the ever-lovin' light on me
