Been on a barbed wire highway 40 days and nights
I ain't complain'n that's my job and it suits me right
I got a sweet soul fever rushin' around my head
I'm gonna sleep tonight in Maria's bed
(nighty night night nighty night night nighty night night
C C F F
Got on a dead man's suit and smilin' skull ring
Lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing
I keep my heart in my work, my troubles in my head
And I keep my soul in Maria's bed
Hey Hey (nighty night night nighty night night nighty night night)
Hey Hey (nighty night night nighty night night nighty night night)
BIG BASS AND DRUMS ON THE LAST F

I been up on sugar mountain, 'cross the sweet blue sea
I walked the valley of love and tears and mystery
I got run out'a luck and gave myself up for dead
Then I drank the cool clear waters from Maria's bed
Hey Hey (nighty night night nighty night night nighty night night)
Hey Hey (nighty night night nighty night night nighty night night)

She give me candy stick kisses 'neath a wolf dog moon

One sweet breath and she'll take you, mister, to the upper room

I was burned by the angels, sold wings of lead
C C G G
Then I fell in the roses and sweet salvation of Maria's bed
C C F F
I been out in the desert, doin' my time
Siftin' through the dust for fools gold, lookin' for a sign
Holy man said, "Hold on, brother, there's a light up ahead."
Ain't nothin' like the light that shines on me in Maria's bed
C F
Well I take my blessings at the riverhead
C ( C G)
I'm living in the light of Maria's bed
(nighty night night nighty night night nighty night night)
Hey Hey (nighty night night nighty night night nighty night night)
Hey Hey (nighty night night nighty night night nighty night night)
