Jesse's New Midnight Special

Lyrics for Jesse's New Midnight Special

Get your ticket at the station Let's get on board Don't wanna leave But I got to go Let the midnight special Shine a light on me The midnight special Make you sad to be If you ever go to Houston You better walk right And you better not stagger And you better not fight When you're walking down the main In the middle of the town If you get in trouble Well, you're jailhouse bound When you wake up in the morning The ding-dong ring You look on the table It's the same old thing Got the jacks in my leg And there's a sowbelly fat If you don't want your breakfast Buddy, well, you won't get down Get your ticket at the station Let's get on board Don't wanna leave you But I got to go Let the midnight special Shine a light on me The midnight special Make you sad to be When you wake up in the morning And the rooster crow Don't wanna go to work But I got to go Don't wanna leave my baby Leave her all alone When I come back home Buddy, well, she may be gone
