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
Talkin' about the midnight gambler
The one you never seen before
Talkin' about the midnight gambler
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
Did you hear about the midnight rambler
Well, honey, it's no rock 'n' roll show
Well, I'm talkin' about the midnight gambler
Yeah, the one you never seen before
[ad lib]
Well you heard about the Boston...
It's not one of those
Well, talkin' 'bout the midnight...sh...
The one that closed the bedroom door
I'm called the hit-and-run raper in anger
The knife-sharpened tippie-toe...
Or just the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler
You know, the one you never seen before
So if you ever meet the midnight rambler
Coming down your marble hall
Well he's pouncing like proud black panther
Well, you can say I, I told you so
Well, don't you listen for the midnight rambler
Play it easy, as you go
I'm gonna smash down all your plate glass windows
Put a fist, put a fist through your steel-plated door
Did you hear about the midnight rambler
He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall
And did you hear about the midnight gambler
And did you see me make my midnight call
And if you ever catch the midnight rambler
I'll steal your mistress from under your nose
I'll go easy with your cold fanged anger
I'll stick my knife right down your throat, baby
And it hurts!

Absolutely, beyond

I know, ten would be much better!
And don't forget about Beggar's Banquet.

No doubt, and Sticky Fingers and Exile weren't too shabby either!

"Brownjohn was hired by his close pal Keith Richards to design the cover, and he in turn hired Delia Smith—the same Delia Smith who would go on to become a well-known British cookbook writer and television celebrity—to bake the cake. As quoted in bassist Bill Wyman’s memoir, Rolling with the Stones, Smith recalled, “I was working then as a jobbing home economist with a food photographer who shot for commercials and magazines. I’d cook anything they needed. One day they said they wanted a cake for a Rolling Stones record cover, it was just another job at the time. They wanted it to be very over-the-top and as gaudy as I could make it.”
This all makes slightly more sense when you learn that the album’s working title was Automatic Changer,referring to a feature on some turntables that allowed you to stack records on a tall spindle with the mechanics to drop one record at a time to the platter after the previous record finished playing.
Despite the final title change, the Stones liked the imagery so much that they choose to stick with Brownjohn’s design. The Royal Mail agreed, and in 2010 the iconic album cover image was chosen for a set of stamps featuring classic rock album covers."

A solid candidate for the honour. Zeppelin IV and Pink Floyd's DSOTM will also merit consideration depending on your taste.

What the Brit lads learnt. Ry felt.................
If the Brit lads hadn't learnt in the first place, Ry wouldn't have formed the Rising Sons in 1964....
I wonder how much is Keith versus hired gun Ry Cooder. And don't forget that Bill Wyman knew his blues so well, he wrote the book. Well, a book, anyway.

According to Jimi "Mr. EXP" Hendrix, "You cannot believe everything you read and hear now, can you?"
(Now if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way.)
Hey There, I just noticed that after you recommend that I take some time off — back in 2007 — well Sir, I did take some time off! I figgered what with the rather embarrassing amount of royalties and other largess arriving at my mailbox on an almost daily basis, well, "why work?" But hey, once a southern boy with bare feet squinched gooshingly into a drippingly fresh cow pie recently discharged by Old EmmaLou (she ain't managed to get her milk down for a couple days now and daddy is considering conversion to hamburgers — guess that talk round her and using that Bag Balm Lotion on her tired old Udders must be making the old gal kinda nervous). Anyway, I h'aint had much time for barefooting and cow pie squinching ... I done took some time and rode around the farm down here south of Nashville and just did some thinking bout life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — and maybe converting the whole 1,650 acres into a Bible Theme Park and Paint Gun Course. Yeah, that would be a money maker, well hell, we could have Xtians versus Moslems versus Jews versus Pagans versus Atheists. Question is, like would the groups all gang up on one or the other? Now I can see the Messianic Jews and the local Free WIll Xtians making a treaty for exchange of red, blue and yellow paint balls, extra co2, etc. But what about the Pagans and Wiccans and so forth? Might be a bit scary out there in the dark with them folks waving their hands and their Ashlar branches around, hooting like owl=s and being nekkid and all ..... well, I got off that track again ... Yesssir, I remember my days up in the Big Apple, down on Gardner's Island. Yep. well, guess I don't know where the thread of this thread of consciousness is going, so I better cut it off now before I inadvertently give up the secret of who really killed the Kennedy Brothers and Marilyn Their mutual menage a'trois party girl who didn't bathe. Speaking of stench, can you imagine the stink which would come about if Bill read this on the air like he read my notes on Nick Cave's "Hold onto Yourself". — Stop that Nick! You are going to go blind doing that!!!!
Why not go fix Gardiner's Island? Shortly before Gardiner's death he said:
"We have always married into wealth. We've covered all our bets. We were on both sides of the Revolution, and both sides of the Civil War. The Gardiner family always came out on top."
Ya might as well go squinch some cow pies, laddie! And puleez do take some more time off - we won't miss your missives!
Since no one was ever officially tried for the "Boston Strangler" murders, it's unlikely there could have been any courtroom testimony, but these lyrics may inspired by parts of Albert DeSalvo's confession. It's certainly inspired by the crimes. Great song by the way.
always remember playing it on a phonograph and staring at all the little details on the album cover

According to the liner notes - Ry played mandolin on 'Love in Vain'.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was never ANY name-calling on any of these posts. People get so mean-spirited all the way to downright nasty.
Ackshoelee, I do believe he IS ..
Can't agree more
BTW, this is just opinion, so I'd appreciate return volleys without the ab hominem name calling. Thank you.
I'd say the Doors could do it as well and just as well. Songs like Roadhous Blues and many others are classic blues influenced songs which follow the "blues rulebook" closely.
RP + work = nothing gets done.

YEP! I Agree. GREAT TUNE!! I bought this album right after it was released. I was 14yrs old. WNEW FM 102.7 NYC used to play this tune a lot. Brings back fond memories, & I still like it! Somehow, this was the 1st time that I actually read the lyrics. ...Creepy, but great. Thanx RP!
