Midnight Rambler lyrics - The Rolling Stones song

- Jagger/Richard 1969

Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?
Ev'ry body got to go.
Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler,
The one that shut the kitchen door?
He don't give a hoot of warning
Wrapped up in a black cat cloak.
He don't go in the light of the morning,
He's split, the time the cock'rel crows.

Talkin' 'bout the Midnight Rambler,
The one you never seen before.
Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler,
Did you see him jump the garden wall?
Sighin' down the wind so softly,
Listen and you'll hear him moan.
Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler,
Ev'rybody got to go!

Did you hear about the midnight gambler?
Well, honey, it's no rock 'n' roll show.
Well, I'm talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler,
The one you've never seen before.

Oh, don't do that. Oh, don't do that. Oh, don't do that.

Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler;
He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall.
Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?
Did you see me make my midnight call?
And if you catch the Midnight Rambler,
I'll steal your mistress from under your nose.
Well, go easy with your cold fandango,
I'll stick my knife right down your throat!
Baby, and it hurts!
