Midnight Special Lyrics

Capo II
NC D (one strum)
Yonder comes Miss Rosie,
A (one strum)
How in the world do you know
Bm - E (one strum each)
Well I knows about her by her apron
A (one strum)
& the dress that she wore
D (one strum)
Umbrella on her shoulder
(begin strumming) A
A piece of paper in her hand
Well she's going to see the governor
Turn loose my man
Chorus:
Let the midnight special
Shine it's light me
Oh let the midnight special
Shine it's everloving light on me
D (one strum)
When you get up in the morning
A (one strum)
When that big bell rings
Bm - E (one strum each)
You go marching to the table
A (one strum)
You see the same damn thing
D (one strum)
Knife & fork are on the table
Ain't nothin in my pan
Bm (start strumming)
& you say a word about it
have trouble with the man
Let the midnight special
Shine it's light me
Oh let the midnight special
Shine it's everloving light on me
Well, jumpin little Judy
She was a mighty fine gal
And Judy brought jumpin
To the whole round world
Well, she brought it in the morning
Just awhile before day
Well, she brought me the news
That my wife was dead
That started me to grieven
I gotta hollerin & cryin
Then I begun to worry
Bout my great very time
Let the midnight special
Shine it's light me
Oh let the midnight special
Shine it's everloving light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine it's light me
Oh let the midnight special
Shine it's everloving light on me
D (one strum)
So if you ever go to Houston
A (one strum)
Boys you'd better walk right
Bm - E (one strum each)
And you better not stagger
A (one strum)
And you better not fight
D (one strum)
sherif Broxton will arrest you
A (begin strumming)
cadet Boone will take you down
& you bet your bottom dollar
your penitentiary bound
- repeat x 2
Let the midnight special
Shine it's light me
Oh let the midnight special
Shine it's everloving light on me
