(Shine a light on me, shine a light on me)

Yonder goes my baby
Tell me, how do you know
Can you tell by the apron
And the dress that she wore?
Umbrella on her shoulder
Yellow ribbon in her hair
And the train's in the station
I'm gonna be right there

Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me

Got her picture in my pocket
Got her lovin' on my mind
I love that baby
She the kissin' kind
When my baby left me
She's on the Santa Fe
But the midnight special
Bring her back to me

Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
(Hurry, hurry, shine a light on me
Hurry, hurry, shine a light on me)

I get so nervous
When the ding dong ring
Think about my baby
That sweet little thing
I get real crazy
Every night this time
'Cause the clock in the station
Says 11:59

Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me (shine a light on me)
Let the midnight special, let the midnight special
Let the midnight special shine a light on me (shine a light on me)
