Midnight Rambler - Larry McCray

Did you hear about the midnight rambler

Everybody got to go?

Did you hear about the midnight rambler

The one that shut the kitchen door?

He don’t give a hoot of no warning

Wrapped up in a black cat cloak

He don’t go in the light of the morning

He split the time the cock’rel crows

Talkin' about the midnight gambler

The one you never seen before, yeah

I’m talkin' about the midnight gambler

Did you see him jump the garden wall?

Sighin' down the wind so sadly

Listen and you’ll hear him moan

Yeah, well, talkin' about the midnight gambler

Everybody got to go

Yeah

Did you hear about the midnight rambler?

Well, honey, it’s no rock 'n' roll show

Well, I’m talkin' about the midnight gambler

Yeah, the one you never seen before

Don’t do that, don’t do that

Don’t do that, don’t do that

Don’t do that, don’t do that

Don’t do that, don’t do that

Don’t you do that

Don’t you do that, don’t you do that

Don’t you do that, don’t you do that

Don’t you do that, don’t you do that

Don’t you do that, don’t you do that

Don’t you do that, don’t you do that

Don’t do that (don't you do that)

Don’t do that (don't you do that)

Don’t do that (don't you do that)

Don’t do that (don't you do that)

(Don't you do that, don’t you do that)

(Don't you do that, don’t you do that)

Don’t do that, don’t do that

Don’t do that, don’t do that

Don’t do that, don’t do that

Don’t do that, don’t do that

Well, you heard about the Boston

It’s not one of those

Well, talkin' 'bout the midnight, sh

The one that closed the bedroom door

I’m called the hit-and-run raper in anger

The knife-sharpened tippie-toe

Or just the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler

You know, the one you never seen before

So if you ever meet the midnight rambler

Coming down your marble hall

Well, he’s pouncing like a proud, black panther

Well, you can say I, I told you so

Well, don’t you listen for the midnight rambler, yeah

You know, play it easy as you go

I’m gonna smash down all your plate glass windows

Put a fist, put a fist through your steel-plated door

Did you hear about the midnight rambler?

He’ll leave his footprints up and down your hall

And did you hear about the midnight gambler

And did you see me make my midnight call?

And if you ever catch the midnight rambler

I’ll steal your mistress from under your nose

I’ll go easy with your cold fanged anger

I’ll stick my knife right down your throat, baby, and it hurts
