Well you wake up in the morning.
Hear the ding dong ring,
You go a-marching to the table,
You see the same old things;
All on one table,
Knife, a fork and a pan,
And if you say a thing about it,
You're in trouble with the man.
cho: Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me;
Let the midnight special
Shine her ever-loving light on me.
If you ever go to Houston.
Than you better walk right;
You better not stagger,
You Know you better not fight;
Sheriff Benson will arrest you,
He'll carry you down,
And if the jury finds you guilty,
You're Penitentiary bound.
cho: Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me;
Let the midnight special
Shine her ever-loving light on me.
[Hang on?] comes with Rosie,
How in the world did you know,
Well l know her by her apron,
And the dress she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder,
Piece of paper in her hand,
She goes a-walking to the captain,
Said, "Turn-a loos my man".
cho: Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me;
Let the midnight special
Shine her ever-loving light on me.
