Lyrics
0:02Yonder comes Miss Rosie
0:08How in the world do you know
0:13Well I know her by the apron and the dress she wore
0:20Umbrella on her shoulder a piece of paper in her hand
0:30Well she's callin' that good love turn a-loose my man
0:36Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
0:44Oh let the Midnight Special
0:48Shine her ever-lovin' light on me
0:51When you gets up in the morning
0:57When that big bell ring
1:01You go marching to the table
1:06You see the same darn thing
1:08Knife and fork are on the table
1:13Ain't nothing in my pan
1:17Say anything about it
1:21Have a trouble with the man
1:23Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
1:31Oh let the Midnight Special
1:35Shine her ever-lovin' light on me
1:38Well jumping Little Judy she was a mighty fine girl
1:45Well Judy brought jumping to this whole round world
1:51Well she brought it in the morning
1:55Just a while before day
1:58She brought me the news that my wife was dead
2:04That started me to grieving I'm gonna hollering and crying
2:12And I began to worry about my very long time
2:17Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
2:25Oh let the Midnight Special
2:28Shine her ever-lovin' light on me
2:37So if you ever go to Houston boy you better walk right
2:48And you better not squabble and you better not fight
2:54Benson Crocker will arrest you
2:59Jimmy Boone will take you down
3:03And you can bet your bottom dollar
3:07You're penitentiary bound
3:09Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me
3:17Oh let the Midnight Special
3:21Shine her ever-lovin' light on me
3:24Oh let Midnight Special ho
3:27Shine her light on me
3:31Oh let Midnight Special
3:35Shine her ever-lovin' light on me
3:38Oh let Midnight Special
3:42Shine her light on me
3:45Oh let Midnight Special
3:50Shine her ever-lovin' light on me
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 a piece of paper in her hand Well she's callin' that good love turn a-loose my man Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me Oh 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 marching to the table You see the same darn thing Knife and fork are on the table Ain't nothing in my pan Say anything about it Have a 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 jumping 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 a while before day She brought me the news that my wife was dead That started me to grieving I'm gonna hollering and crying And I began to worry about my very long time Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me Oh let the Midnight Special Shine her ever-lovin' light on me So if you ever go to Houston boy you better walk right And you better not squabble and you better not fight Benson Crocker will arrest you Jimmy Boone will take you down And you can bet your bottom dollar You're penitentiary bound Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me Oh let the Midnight Special Shine her ever-lovin' light on me Oh let Midnight Special ho Shine her light on me Oh let Midnight Special Shine her ever-lovin' light on me Oh let Midnight Special Shine her light on me Oh let Midnight Special Shine her ever-lovin' light on me
