Big Midnight Special (Rerecorded) Lyrics
Big Midnight Special - Wilma Lee & Stoney Cooper
Big midnight special shine
Your light on me
Big midnight special shine
Your everlovin' light on me
Woke up this morning
I heard the whistle blow
The jailor says come
On boy cause it's time to go
Big midnight special shine
Your light on me
Big midnight special shine
Your everlovin' light on me
Never had the blues
So in my life before
Until I left my good gal
At that station door
Big midnight special shine
Your light on me
Big midnight special shine
Your everlovin' light on me
Put me in a pullman
Guards around his door
Said you off to Atlanta
You gonna serve ten years more
Big midnight special shine
Your light on me
Big midnight special shine
Your everlovin' light on me
Looked all around me
In that pullman car
The men was wearing Stetson
Hats smoking big cigars
Big midnight special shine
Your light on me
Big midnight special shine
Your everlovin' light on me
Took me off in Atlanta
At the end of the line
Said you gonna start serving
Time boy for your awful crime
Big midnight special shine
Your light on me
Big midnight special shine
Your everlovin' light on me
The whistle makes me
Lonesome of the midnight train
And it's gonna be ten long
Years till I go home again
Big midnight special shine
Your light on me
Big midnight special shine
Your everlovin' light on me
Big midnight special shine
Your everlovin' light on me
Big midnight special shine
Your everlovin' light on me
