Midnight Special

You get up in the mornin', you hear the ding dong ring

Now you look up on the table, you see the same darn thing.

You find no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan.

But if you say a thing about it, you be in trouble with the man.

Ah let the Midnight Special shine a light on me

Oh let the Midnight Special shine its ever lovin' light on me

Now if you're ever in Houston, oh, you better walk right

Aw, you better not gamble boy, I say you better not fight

Or the sheriff he will grab you and the boys will pull you down.

And then before you know it, you're penitentary bound.

Ah let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, （woooo）

Let the Midnight Special shine its ever lovin' light on me

Here comes miss Lucy, how in the world did you know?

I can tell by her apron, and by the clothes she wore.

An umbrella on her shoulder, she got a paper in her hand

She come to see the warden, to try to free her man.

So let the Midnight Special shine a light on me

Ah let the Midnight Special shine its everlovin' light on me.

I said let the Midnight Special shine a light on me

Ah let the Midnight Special shine its everlovin' light on me.
