Midnight Special Lyrics

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
