Subject: Lyr Req: Delmore Brothers' Midnight Special
Please, help me get the text of The Midnight Special as sung by the Delmore Brothers. Here is what I can get:
Oh, let the midnight special shine down on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever light on me
Oh, Mister Policeman, have you seen my gal?
Please help me find her and …
I don't know why I ever loved Corinne
'Cause I'm so jealous, the only color I can see is green
Oh, the reason I loved her, she stood by me
When I got in jail, yeah, she never asked the … to set me free
She came to … on a midnight train
She would have come sooner but …
She would never fail me for she loved me too
…not worryin' … lovin' too
