Midnight Special Lyrics - Kingston Trio

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 

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 

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
