"Midnight Special" is a traditional folk song thought to have originated among prisoners in the American South.[1] The title comes from the refrain which refers to the Midnight Special and its "ever-loving light" (sometimes "ever-living light").
The song is historically performed in the country-blues style from the viewpoint of the prisoner. The song has been covered by many different artists.
