[00:09.71] Yonder come Miss Rosie, how in the world do you know
[00:16.85] Well I know by the apron and the dress she wore
[00:22.53] Well an umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand
[00:29.36] Well I'm gonna ask the governor, he turn a-lose a-my man
[00:34.99] Let the midnight special, shine the light on me
[00:41.11] Let the midnight special, shine the ever-lovin' light on me
[00:47.34] When you get up in the mornin', when that big bell ring
[00:53.66] You go and march to the table, see the same damn thing
[00:58.81] Knife and fork are on the table, there's nothin' in my pan
[01:05.25] And if you say anything about it, havin' trouble with the man
[01:11.07]
[01:11.36] Let the midnight special, shine the light on me
[01:16.19] Let the midnight special, shine the ever-lovin' light on me
[01:22.32] Well I went to the nation and to the territory
[01:28.55] Well I thought about the girl I love, in that Mexico
[01:33.24] Let the midnight special, shine the light on me
[01:39.54] Let the midnight special, shine the ever-lovin' light on me
[01:45.36]
[01:46.17] If you ever go to Houston, oh you better walk right
[01:52.21] And you better not squallow and you better not fight
[01:57.19] Sheriff Rocko will arrest you, Eddie Boone will take you down
[02:03.28] You can bet your bottom dollar, penitentiary bound
[02:08.26] Let the midnight special, shine the light on me
[02:14.35] Let the midnight special, shine the ever-lovin' light on me
[02:19.83]
[02:20.13] Well jumpin' little Judy, she was a mighty fine girl
[02:26.21] Well Judy brought jumpin' to this whole round world
[02:30.84] Well she brought it in the mornin', just a while before day
[02:36.82] She brought me the news, that my wife was dead
[02:41.76] That started me to grievin', then hollerin' and a-cryin'
[02:47.69] Then I had to give the worry about a been a long time
[02:52.33] Let the midnight special, shine the light on me
[02:57.90] Let the midnight special, shine the ever-lovin' light on me
