I'm 39, my Papa is 69, & our cousin is 61. We got Sweet Soul Music by Arthur Conley as our one and only Go To for Karaoke. I'm hoping this be our Second "Go To" song we get down to. I really feel the music in this one. Thanks CCR!!!

You wanna see something really scary?

12/7/24 or 12/8/24. After midnight.
This is the Saturday night special too.
And the 38 special
3 becomes 12 and 8
12/8 special
The scary part is like Ronnie says
Dump all people to the bottom of the sea.
Escape and fly my friend

Funny, that's what comes to my mind every time I hear that tune... good ol' Dan Akroyd

A man in Houston got put
in prison, Miss Rosie wants to free her man, before he gets executed at Midnight, that's my meaning of this masterpiece

It's a house with slaves. One of them is the narrator telling us what's happening. Can't complain about no food and Rosie wants her man freed.

Actually, it's about a train that goes past a prison.

[@SirDieALot666]

I think, this is a prison song. It have some sense since the song tell you a couple of situations... When you woke up and march to the table... Miss Rosie coming to free her man..

[@leekosmin8788]

Read more about it . It's a train that went past a prison. Driver would shine his lights extra bright and sound the horn as he went past.

[@roflmows]

when i was a kid, i thought this was a truck drivin' song, and the Midnight Special was an extra-large black coffee you could get at truck stops. because it's black as midnight, and you needed it AFTER midnight....you know, to help you stay awake on the road ;)
driving from IL to FL around 1989 (i was 9), we stopped for gas around 1 am, and i asked my dad if he was gonna get the "Midnight Special". he had no idea what i was talking about :P
messed that one up, i guess ;D

Never grow tired of this song.....

[@Vivzid]

I found this: The “Midnight Special” was a passenger train whose front headlight would shine onto the prison at Sugar Land, Texas as it passed. The train was a symbol of good luck and hope for the prisoners. ---The light of the Midnight Special supposedly meant that whoever the light shone upon, their girlfriend/ wife was on the train coming to collect them/ bail them out.

[@rolitagoodrich1009]

It is so crazy still to this day wifey will take black people's music and make it their own LED Billy did it first Credence made it famous

... Miss Rosie... She come to see the gov'ner... Not gov'ner but Govnuke ! Must be closer. All languages talking same: Governor is govnuke ( bull sheet by English ) I'm listened I'm agree.

[@XboxSpartan05]

So what the hell is the midnight special?

[@sebiaguirre4460]

This song keeps me at peace of mind

[@borntosynthesize3710]

No apparent author, but this song is one of hope for prisoners---the Midnight Special being a train that passed by with it's headlight on bright for the prisoners--that they may have some hope of freedom. Trouble is, they're there for a reason. So the song is pretty cool, but the prisoners can still shove it, for the most part.
