A D
Yonder come Miss Rosie,
A
How in the world do you know
Bm E
Well I knows about her by her apron
A
& the dress that she wore
D
Umbrella on her shoulder
A
A piece of paper in her hand
Bm
Well she’s going to see the governor
E
Turn loose my man
[Chorus]
A D
Let the midnight special
A
Shine its light on me
Bm
Oh let the midnight special
E A
Shine its everloving light on me
[Verse 2]
D
When you get up in the morning
A
When that big bell rings
Bm E
You go marching to the table
A
You see the same damn thing
D
Knife & fork are on the table
Ain't nothin' in my pan
Bm
& you say a word about it
E A
have trouble with the man
[Chorus]
A D
Let the midnight special
A
Shine its light on me
Bm
Oh let the midnight special
E A
Shine its everloving light on me
[Verse 3]
A D
Well, jumpin' little Judy
A
She was a mighty fine gal
Bm
And Judy brought jumpin'
E A
To the whole round world
D
Well, she brought it in the morning
A
Just awhile before day
Bm
Well, she brought me the news
E A
That my wife was dead
D
That started me to grievin'
A
I gotta hollerin' & cryin'
Bm
Then I begun to worry
E A
'Bout my great very time
[Chorus]
A D
Let the midnight special
A
Shine its light on me
Bm
Oh let the midnight special
E A
Shine its everloving light on me
A D
Let the midnight special
A
Shine its light on me

Oh let the midnight special
E A
Shine its everloving light on me
[Verse 4]
D
So if you ever go to Houston
A
Boys you'd better walk right
Bm E
And you better not stagger
A
And you better not fight
D
Sherif Broxton will arrest you
A
Cadet Boone will take you down
Bm
& you bet your bottom dollar
E A
you're penitentiary bound
[Chorus] (x2)
A D
Let the midnight special
A
Shine its light on me
Bm
Oh let the midnight special
E A
Shine its everloving light on me
