Midnight Rambler - Live From Madison Square Garden, New York/1969

Lordy

Wanna have a story about the midnight rambler?

Everybody got to go

I'm talkin' 'bout the midnight rambler

And everybody got to go

Well, I'm a-talkin' about the midnight gambler

The one you've never seen before

I'm sighin' down the wind so sadly

Listen and you'll hear me moan

Well, I'm a talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler

And everybody got to go, yeah

Talkin' about the midnight gambler

The one you never seen before

I'm talkin' 'bout the midnight rambler

Did you see me jump the garden wall?

I don't give you a hoot of a warning

Dressed up in a black cat cloak

I don't need your light of the morning

I've spent my time, the cock will crow

I'm talkin' about the midnight rambler

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

Well, I'm a-talkin' about the midnight gambler

Yeah, everybody got to go

Don't do that, don't do that

Don't do that, don't do that

Don't do that, don't do that

I don't do that, oh, don't do that

I don't do that

Well, alright

Oh, yeah, we're alright

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Well, you heard about the Boston

Honey, it's not one of those

Talkin' 'bout the midnight, sh-

Did you see me jump the bedroom door

I'm called the hit-and-run raper, in anger

Or just a knife-sharpened tippie-toe

Or just shoot 'em dead, brain bell jongleur

Everybody got to go

If you ever meet the midnight rambler

And he's running down your marble hall

And he's pouncing like a proud black panther

You can say, I told you so

If you listen for your midnight rambler

Play it easy, easy, as you go

I'm gonna smash down all your plate glass windows

Put my fist through your steel-plated door

(I'm immature, it's written on my toe)

Well, I been talkin' about the midnight rambler

The one you never seen before

Well, I'm a-talkin' about the midnight rambler

And did you see me jump your garden wall

And if you ever catch the midnight rambler

Steal your mistress from under your nose

Go easy with your cold-fanged anger

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