Midnight Special
wake up in the morning.
Hear the ding dong ring,
You go a-marching to the table,
Have the same old thing;
Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me;
Let the midnight special
Shine her ever-loving light on me.
Never had to do so
In my life before
til my woman left me
At the jailhouse door.
She left me crying
Tears rolled down her face
Saying I'd rather see you dead boy
Than in this place.
Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me;
Let the midnight special
Shine her ever-loving light on me.
(Dobro)
When you go to the city boys,
Better have the kale
Or the law will arrest you
And put you in jail.
The judge will find you
The'll chase you down
If you haven't got the money boys
Youre jailhouse bound
Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me;
Let the midnight special
Shine her ever-loving light on me.
