Midnight Rambler
The Rolling Stones

from the album LET IT BLEED


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 you a hoot of warning
Wrapped up in a black cat cloak
He don't go in the light of the morning
He split the time the cockrel crows

Talkin' about the midnight gambler
The one you never seen before
Talkin' about the midnight gambler
Did you see him jump the garden wall
Sighin' down the wind so sad
Listen and you'll hear him moan
Talkin' about the midnight gambler
Everybody got to go

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've never seen before

Don't you do that

Well, you heard about the Boston ... 
Honey ,it's not one of those
Well, talkin' 'bout the midnight ...
The one who 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 brain belled jangler
You know the one you've never seen before

So if you ever meet the midnight rambler
Prowlin' down your marble hall
Well, he's pouncin' like a proud black panther
Yeah, you can say I, I told you so

Well, won't you listen for midnight rambler
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 plate door

Did you hear about the midnight Rambler
Leave his footprints up and down your hall
Did you hear about the midnight gambler
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'm goin' easy with your cold fanged anger
I'll stick my knife right down your throat
Baby, and it hurts
