Midnight Special

Well, you wake up in the morning

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 fork 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 want 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

Well you'd better do right

You'd better not gamble

And you better not fight at all

Or the sheriff will grab you

And the boys will bring you down

The next thing you know boy

Well, 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

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
