Well, you wake up in the mornin' |
|
And the ding dong rings |
|
You go a marchin' to the table |
|
You see the same old thing |
|
Baby, all I want to tell ya |
|
A knife, a fork and a pan |
|
And if you say a thing about it |
|
Your in trouble with the man |
|
Let the Midnight Special |
|
Shine a light on me |
|
Let the Midnight Special |
|
Shine it's everlovin' light on me |
|
Yes, let the Midnight Special |
|
Shine a light on me |
|
Let the Midnight Special |
|
Shine it's everlovin' light on me |
|
If you're ever in Houston, |
|
Then you walk or ride |
|
You better not gamble |
|
And you better not skive, boy |
|
'Cause sheriff Benson will arrest ya |
|
He'll carry you on down |
|
And if the jury finds you guilty |
|
You're penitentiary bound |
|
So, let the Midnight Special |
|
Shine a light on me |
|
Let the Midnight Special |
|
Shine it's everlovin' light on me |
|
---- Instrumental Interlude ----- |
|
Yonder comes miss Rosie |
|
How I wonder did you know |
|
Well, I know about apron |
|
And the dress she wore |
|
Umbrella on her shoulder, |
|
Piece of paper in her hand |
|
She goes a-walkin' to the captain |
|
Says, I'm losing my man |
|
So, let the Midnight Special |
|
Shine it's light on me |
|
Let the Midnight Special |
|
Shine it's everlovin' light on me |
|
Let the Midnight Special |
|
Shine it's light on me |
