Midnight Special

You get up in the mornin'

You hear the ding dong ring

Now you look upon the table

You see the same darn thing

You find no food upon the table

No pork up in the pan

But if you say a thing about it

You'll be in trouble with the man

Ah, let the Midnight Special

shine her light on me

Oh, let the Midnight Special

shine it's ever lovin' light on me

Now if you're ever in Houston

Oh, you better walk right

Ah, you better not gamble, boy

I say you better not fight

Well now the sheriff he'll grab you

And the boys will pull you down

And then before you know it

You're penitentiary bound

Ah, let the Midnight Special

shine her her light on me, woooooooo

Let the Midnight Special

shine it's ever lovin' light on me

Here comes Miss Lucy

How in the world do you know

I can tell by her apron

And by the clothes she wore

An umbrella on her shoulder

She got a paper in her hand

She gonna see the Warden

To try to free her man

So let the Midnight Special

shine her light on me

Oh, let the Midnight Special

shine it's ever lovin' light on me

I said, let the Midnight Special

shine her light on me, woooooooo

Oh, let the Midnight Special

shine its ever lovin' light on me
