Lyrics:

I gotta run to keep from hidin
And Im bound to keep on a ridin
I got one more silver dollar
But Im not gonna let em catch me
No, not gonna let em catch the midnight rider.

--- Fiddle Instrumental ---

I dont own the clothes Im wearin
And the road goes on forever
And Ive got one more silver dollar
No, Im not gonna let em catch midnight rider.

--- Guitar - Mandolin - Fiddle Instrumental ---

And Ive gone by the point of carin
Some old bed Ill soon be sharin
And Ive got one more silver dollar
But Im not gonna let em catch me
No, not gonna let em catch midnight rider.

Im not gonna let em catch me
No, Im not gonna let em catch midnight rider.

--- Banjo Instrumental ---

Im not gonna let em catch me
No Im not gonna let em catch midnight rider.

--- Banjo Instrumental ---

I aint gonna let em catch me
No, I aint gonna let em catch midnight rider.

--- Banjo Fiddle Instrumental to fade ---
