Midnight Special

Lyrics:

• Well, you wake up in the mornin', you hear the work bell ring
• And they march you to the table, you see the same old thing
• Ain't no food upon the table and no pork up in the pan
• But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man


• Let the midnight special, shine a light on me
• Let the midnight special, shine a light on me
• Let the midnight special, shine a light on me
• Let the midnight special, shine a ever lovin' light on me


• Yonder come Miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
• By the way she wears her apron and the clothes she wore
• Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand
• She come to see the governor, she wants to free her man


• Let the midnight special, shine a light on me
• Let the midnight special, shine a light on me
• Let the midnight special, shine a light on me
• Let the midnight special, shine a ever lovin' light on me


• If you're ever in Houston, oh you better do the right
• You better not gamble and you better not fight
• Or the sheriff will grab you and the boys, will bring you down
• The next thing you know, boy, oh you're prison bound


• Let the midnight special, shine a light on me
• Let the midnight special, shine a light on me
• Let the midnight special, shine a light on me
• Let the midnight special, shine a ever lovin' light on me
