Midnight Special

Yonder come Miss Rosie, how in the world do you know
Well I knows by your apron and the dress she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder, a piece of paper in her hand
Well she gonna see the governor, he turn a-lose a-my man
Let the midnight special, shine its light on me
Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me
Now when you get up in the mornin', when that big bell ring
You go and march to the table, and it’s the sam damn thing
Knives and forks are on the tabl, ain’t nothin' in my pan
You say anything about it, have trouble with the man
Let the midnight special, shine its light on me
Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me
Well jumpin' little Judy, she was a mighty fine girl
Now Judy brought jumpin' to this whole round world
Well she brought it in the mornin', just right before day
She brought me the news, that my wife was dead
Which started me to grievin', I done hollered and cried
Then I begun to worry about a been a long time
Let the midnight special, shine it light on me
Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me
Let the midnight special, ooh, shine it light on me
Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me
Let the midnight special, shine its light on me
Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me
So if you ever go to Houston, boys you better walk right
And you better not stagger and you better not fight
Sheriff Broxton will arrest you, Eddie Boone will take you down
And you can bet your bottom dollar, you’re penitentiary bound
Let the midnight special, shine it light on me
Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me
Let the midnight special, shine it light on me
Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me
Let the midnight special, ooh, shine its light on me
Let the midnight special, shine its ever-lovin' light on me
