Moonlight Special (Larry W. Jones 04/01/2009) (song#5862) I met the friendly postman with the morning mail Your letter said that you’d be coming on the rail Dear, I’ll meet you at the station tonight at nine Moonlight Special, be sure that you arrive on time Moonlight Special, blow your bull whistle for your friends Mr engineer, keep that throttle full round the bends Tonight I’ll see my darlin’, what a sight to see Moonlight Special, bringing my baby home to me That day she had to leave was when I had to grieve But she promised that she’d always be only mine Her letter came today and my heart is relieved Moonlight Special, be sure that you arrive on time (instrumental) Moonlight Special, blow your bull whistle for your friends Mr engineer, keep that throttle full round the bends Tonight I’ll see my darlin’, what a sight to see Moonlight Special, bringing my baby home to me Well, I hear that Moonlight Special balling the jack Her stack’s a-smokin’, headlight falling on the track That locomotive’s movin’, no more hills to climb Moonlight Special, you brought my baby right on time Kingwood Kowboy
