Midnight Mary Lyrics

Meet me at midnight, Mary, same place we always go
Meet me at midnight, Mary, and don't let anyone know
Don't let anyone know

Your Daddy says I'm a bad boy
And you've no future with me
So we can only get together
By meeting secretly

Meet me at midnight, Mary, same place we always go
Meet me at midnight, Mary, and don't let anyone know
Don't let anyone know

Just got a job on the railroad (diddy-dumb-dum)
The work is hard and long (diddy-um-dum)
But I'm gonna build us a future
And show your Daddy he's wrong

Meet me at midnight, Mary, same place we always go
Meet me at midnight, Mary, and don't let anyone know
Don't let anyone know

Soon as I have some money (diddy-dumb-dum)
For a home and everything (diddy-um-dum)
We won't have to keep it a secret
That you've got my wedding ring

Meet me at midnight, Mary, same place we always go
Meet me at midnight, Mary, and don't let anyone know
Don't let anyone know
(Don't let anyone) Don't let anyone know-oh-oh

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
