Artist/Band: Jean Shepard
Lyrics for Song: Big Midnight Special
Lyrics for Album: The Melody Ranch Girl [Bear Family (Germany)] [1996]



(Traditional)



Big midnight special

Shine your light on me

Big midnight special

Shine your everlovin' light on me.



Woke up this morning

Heard the whistle blow

The jailor said come boy

It's time to go.



Big midnight special

Shine your light on me

Big midnight special

Shine your everlovin' light on me.



I've never had the blues

So in my life before

Till my baby left me

At the station door.



Big midnight special

Shine your light on me

Big midnight special

Shine your everlovin' light on me.



--- Instrumental ---



They put him in a pullman

Guards around his door

Said your off to Atlanta

To serve ten years more.



Big midnight special

Shine your light on me

Big midnight special

Shine your everlovin' light on me.



He looked all around him

In the pullman car

Saw the men wearin' clothe hats

Smoking big cigars.



Big midnight special

Shine your light on me

Big midnight special

Shine your everlovin' light on me.



--- Instrumental ---



Took him off in Atlanta

At the end of the line

Said you start servin' time boy

For your awful crime.



Big midnight special

Shine your light on me

Big midnight special

Shine your everlovin' light on me.



That whistle makes me lonesome

Of the midnight train

But he knows I'm waitin' till

He brings him home again.



Big midnight special

Shine your light on me

Big midnight special

Shine your everlovin' light on me.



Shine your light on me...
