Left a good job in the city, workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin', worryin' 'bout the way things
might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, pumped a lot of pane down in New
Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city, 'til I hitched a ride on a river
boat queen

Well Judy brought jumpin', To this whole round world

Well she brought it in the mornin', Just a while before day

N'that started me greivin', Then hollerin' and cryin'
A E A
Then I had to give the worry, 'Bout a very long time
A D A
Let the Midnight Special, Shine your light on me
A E A
Let the Midnight Special, Shine its ever lovin' light on me
