Memphis Slim - Midnight lyrics

One day, one day, Sir I was walking along I heard that special Singing a lonesome song [Chorus] Oh, let the Midnight Special Shine her light on me Let the Midnight Special Shine her ever lovin light on me If you ever go to Houston You know you better walk right You know you better not stagger You know you better not fight Because the sheriff will just arrest you You know he'll carry you down And you can bet your bottom dollar Oh Lord, you're penitentiary bound [Chorus] Yonder come little Rosie How in the world do you know? I can tell her by her apron And the dress she wore Umbrella on her shoulder Piece of paper in her hand Goes a marchin to the Captain Says I want my man [Chorus] Now here comes jumpin' Judy I'll tell you how I know You know, Judy brought jumpin' To the whole wide world She brought it in the morning Just about the break of day You know, if I ever get to jumpin' Oh Lord, I'll up and jump away. [Chorus: x 2]
