Chorus:
|
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.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
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.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
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!
|
|
(Chorus twice)
