Midnight Special

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 its everlovin light on me
Yes, let the Midnight Special
Shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special
Shine its everlovin light on me
If youre ever in Houston,
Then you walk or ride
You better not gamble
And you better not skive, boy
Cause sheriff Benson will arrest ya
Hell carry you on down
And if the jury finds you guilty
Youre penitentiary bound
So, let the Midnight Special
Shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special
Shine its 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, Im losing my man
So, let the Midnight Special
Shine its light on me
Let the Midnight Special
Shine its everlovin light on me
Let the Midnight Special
Shine its light on me
