Midnight Special
Oh, let the midnight special, shine her light on me
Oh, let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me
Now you wake up in the morning, you'll hear the ding dong ring
And you go marching to the table, you see the same old thing
Well it's sittin' on the table, a knife, a fork, and a pan
If you say anything about it, you're in trouble with the man
Oh let the midnight special shine her light on me
Oh let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me
Well, if you ever go to Houston, then you better walk right
And you have better not stagger and you had better not fight
Because the sheriff will arrest you, he's gonna take you down
And when the jury finds you guilty, you're penitentiary bound
Oh let the midnight special shine her light on me
Oh let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me
Well, yonder comes Miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
Well, I know her by her apron and the dress she wore
An umbrella on her shoulder, a piece of paper in her hand
She goes marching to the captain, she says "I want my man"
Oh let the midnight special shine her light on me
Oh let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me
Oh, let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me
Now you wake up in the morning, you'll hear the ding dong ring
And you go marching to the table, you see the same old thing
Well it's sittin' on the table, a knife, a fork, and a pan
If you say anything about it, you're in trouble with the man
Oh let the midnight special shine her light on me
Oh let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me
Well, if you ever go to Houston, then you better walk right
And you have better not stagger and you had better not fight
Because the sheriff will arrest you, he's gonna take you down
And when the jury finds you guilty, you're penitentiary bound
Oh let the midnight special shine her light on me
Oh let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me
Well, yonder comes Miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
Well, I know her by her apron and the dress she wore
An umbrella on her shoulder, a piece of paper in her hand
She goes marching to the captain, she says "I want my man"
Oh let the midnight special shine her light on me
Oh let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me
