I got to run to keep from hidin'
An' i'm bound to keep on ridin'
I got one more one more silver dollar

Well i'm not gonna let 'em catch me no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider


Well these ain't my clothes i'm wearin'
An' this ol' road goes on forever
An' i got one more silver dollar

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me no
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider


Now i'll be gone be gone by the point of carin'
Now some ol' bed some ol' bed i'll soon be sharin'
I got one more one more silver dollar

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me no
I ain't gonna let 'em catch midnight rider


Oh no i ain't gonna let 'em catch me no
Ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
Oh no i ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight midnight rider
