Traditional
|
Well, you wake up in the mornin'
|
You hear the big bell ring
|
And when you get down to the table
|
It's the same damn thing
|
Knife and fork is on the table, woo
|
Ain't nothin' in the pan
|
And if you says a word about it
|
You're in trouble with the man
|
|
Let the Midnight Special
|
Shine a light on me
|
Let the Midnight Special
|
Shine a light on me
|
|
Well if you ever go to Houston, Texas
|
Oh you better walk right
|
Oh well you better not quarrel
|
And you better not fight
|
Sheriff Johnson will arrest you
|
Oh he'll take you on down
|
And you can bet your bottom dollar
|
You're penitentiary bound
|
|
Let the Midnight Special
|
Shine a light on me
|
Let the Midnight Special
|
Shine a light on me
|
Let the Midnight Special
|
Shine a light on me
|
Let the Midnight Special
|
Shine a light on me
|
|
Well, yonder come [little Rosie]/[Winnie Mandela]
|
How in the world do you know?
|
Well, I can tell her by her apron
|
Or the dress she wore
|
Umbrella on her shoulder, woo
|
Piece of paper in her hand
|
She gonna write to the gov'nor
|
To turn loose her man
|
|
Let the Midnight Special
|
Shine a light on me
|
Let the Midnight Special
|
Shine a light on me
|
Let the Midnight Special
|
Shine a light on me
|
Let the Midnight Special
|
Shine a light on me
|
Let the Midnight Special
|
Shine a light on me
|
Let the Midnight Special
|
Shine a light on me
|
