Midnight Special [original stereo mix] Songtext
von Van Morrison

Let the midnight special
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Let the midnight
Shine its ever-loving light on me
Ever loving light on me

Yonder come miss Rosey
How in the world do you know
How in the world do you know?
Well, I know her by her apron
And the dress she wore

Umbrella on her shoulder
A piece of paper in her hand
She gonna tell old John
She want back her man
She want back her man


Let the midnight special
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Let the midnight
Shine its ever-loving light on me
Ever loving light on

If you ever go to Houston
Yeah, you better walk right
You′d better not gamble
And sure thing better not fight

The next thing you know
The sheriff gonna arrest you
And some judge send you down
And you can bet your bottom dollar
Lord, you'll be chain gang bound
Chain gang bound

Let the midnight special
Let the midnight
Shine its light on me
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Let the midnight special
Shine on
Shine its ever loving light on me
Shine on me, yeah


Let the midnight special
Shine, shine, shine
Shine its light on me
Shine, shine on me
Let the midnight special
Way into midnight
Shine its ever loving light on me
Way into midnight, baby
Let the midnight special
