[Harmonica Intro]

[Verse 1]
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 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

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 2]
Talkin' about the midnight gambler
The one you never seen before
Talkin' about the midnight gambler
Everybody got to go

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

[​Instrumental Interlude]

[Audience Applause]

[Instrumental Transition]

[Bridge]
Go down on the baby
Go down on the baby
Well you heard about the Boston
Honey, it's not one of those
Well I'm talkin' about the midnight
Do you see me shut the bedroom door
I'm called a hit n' run reaper
Or just a knife sharpin' tippy-toe
Just shoot 'em dead, brain dead
Chain letting down
Everybody gots to go
Yeah now listen for the midnight rambler
[?]
Yeah he's bouncing like [?] like a panther
Yessir, I told you so
Yessir, if you miss him, the midnight rambler
[?]
[?]
[?] shut the kitchen door
Listen

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

[Audience Applause]

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Yessir!

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
