Lyrics

Well, you wake up in the morning
You hear that work bell ring
And they march you to the table
You see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table
And no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy
You get in trouble with the man
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
And let the midnight special
Shine a ever-loving light on me
And let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
And let the midnight special
Shine a ever-loving light on me
Yonder come miss Rosie
How in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron
And the clothes she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder
Piece of paper in her hand
She come to see the governor
She came to free her man
Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
And let the midnight special
Shine a ever-loving light on me
And let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
And let the midnight special
Shine a ever-loving light on me
If you're ever in Houston
Well, you'd better do the right
You'd better not gamble
And you better not fight (at all)
Or the sheriff will grab you
And the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy
Well, you're prison bound
The midnight special
Shine a light on me
And let the midnight special
Shine a ever-loving light on me
And let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
And let the midnight special
Shine a ever-loving light on me
