lyrics

Lord shine your light, down on me
Lord shine your light, down on me (yeah...)

Yonder come, Rosie, how in the world did you know?
Thru the bars of her apron, I see the dress she tore
Umbrella on her shoulder, my list she scored

She screams, Lord have mercy turn loose my good man
And let the Midnight Special..., shine your light on me
Shine your light on me

When you get up in the mournin' when that Toll bell rings
When you, go..., marching-to-the-table, see that crowd of screams
There's a man, with the troubles..., with the plans of phene's

Let the Midnight Special..., shine your light on me
Shine your light on me ...

If you're ever..., down Poke County way
You better not squabble, better make your pay
Sheriff Boyse Karzwell, he'll make you Late

[Chorus]

Well, jumpin' little Kimbo, she was a mighty fine girl
She brought, crazy, to her, whole world
She brought the Mournin', grievin' burn'in curles

Lord shine your light..., down on me (2x)
Lord shine your light, down on me

[Chorus, – then within, repeat it's last line 2x’s more; end on Am]
