Midnight Special Lyrics

Midnight Special - Jimmy Lawton

Well you wake up in the mornin'

 

You hear the 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

 

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 an ever-lovin' 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 gov'nor

 

She want to free her man oh

Let the midnight special shine a light on me

 

Let the midnight special shine a light on me

Shine a light on me

 

Let the midnight special shine a light on me

 

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special shine a light on me

Yeah

If you're ever in houston

 

Well you better do right

 

You better not gamble

 

There you better not fight

 

Or the sheriff will grab ya

 

And the boys will bring you down

 

The next thing you know boy

 

Whoa you're prison 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 an ever-lovin' 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 an ever-lovin' light on me
