Midnight Special

Let the midnight special shine down on me
Let the midnight special shed its ever-lovin' light on me

Oh Mr. Policeman, have you seen my gal?
Please help me find her and I'll be your ever-lovin' pal

Let the midnight special shine down on me
Let the midnight special shed its ever-lovin' light on me

I don't know why I ever loved for real
'Cause I'm so jealous, the only color I can see is green

Let the midnight special shine down on me
Let the midnight special shed its ever-lovin' light on me

Only reason I love her, she stood by me
When I got in jail here, she never left until she set me free

Let the midnight special shine down on me
Let the midnight special shed its ever-lovin' light on me

She came to Parchman on the midnight train
She would've come sooner, but they wouldn't let her ride the plane

Let the midnight special shine down on me
Let the midnight special shed its ever-lovin' light on me

She will never fail me, for she loves me true
And I'm worried for she likes my kind of lovin' too

Let the midnight special shine down on me
Let the midnight special shed its ever-lovin' light on me
