Well you wake
up in the mornin
you hear the
work bell ring
And they march
you to the table
to 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 a everlovin
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 wants to
free 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 everlovin
light on me
If you're ever
in Houston well you
better do the right
You better not gamble
there you better
not fight at all
Or the sheriff
will grab ya and the
boys will
bring you down
The next thing
you know boy
Oh 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 a everlovin
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 everlovin
light on me
