[Verse 1]
A                 D                             A
 Yonder come Miss Rosie how in the world do you know?
                   E7                      A
Well I know by the apron and the dress she wore
                D
Umbrella on her shoulder,
                      A
piece of paper in her hand
                      B7
Well I'm callin' that captain,
E7                  A
  he turn aloose my man

[Chorus]
                 D
Let the midnight special,
                   A
shine her light on me
                 E7
Let the midnight special,
                     A
shine her everlovin' light on me

[Verse 2]
                        D
When you gets up in the mornin',
                   A
when that big bell ring
                        B7
You go and march to the table,
   E7                   A
you  meet the same damn thing
                          D
Knife and fork are on the table,
                       A
ain't nothin' in my pan
                         B7
And if you say anything about it,
E7                            A
  you have a trouble with the man

[Chorus]
                 D
Let the midnight special,
                   A
shine her light on me
                 E7
Let the midnight special,
                     A
shine her everlovin' light on me
                     D
Well I went into the nations

[Verse 3]
             A
And the territo
                       B7
Well I thought about a girl I love
E7             A
  Lives in Mexico

[Chorus]
                 D
Let the midnight special,
                   A
shine her light on me
                 E7
Let the midnight special,
                     A
shine her everlovin' light on me

[Verse 4]
                  D
If you ever go to Houston,
                     A
boys you better walk right
                   B7
And you better not squabble,
E7                   A
  and you better not fight
                     D
Benson Croker will arrest you,
                          A
Eddie Boone will take you down
                        B7
You can bet your bottom dollar,
E7             A
  Penitentiary bound

[Chorus]
                 D
Let the midnight special,
                   A
shine her light on me
                 E7
Let the midnight special,
                     A
shine her everlovin' light on me

[Verse 5]
                     D
Well, Jumpin' little Judy,
                      A
she was a mighty fine girl
Well,
             B7     E7                   A
Judy brought jumpin'  to the whole round world
                           D
Well she brought it in the mornin',
                    A
just a while before day
                   B7
She brought me the news,
E7                 A
  that my wife was dead
                   D
That started me to grievin', then hollerin',
    A
and cryin'
               B7   E7                    A
And I began to worry  about my great long time

[Chorus]
                 D
Let the midnight special,
                   A
shine her light on me
                 E7
Let the midnight special,
                     A
shine her everlovin' light on me
