Oh, let the midnight special, shine her light on me Oh, let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me Now you get up in the morning, you hear the ding dong ring And you go marching to the table, you see the same old thing Well it's on the table, a knife a fork and the pan If you say anything about it, you're in trouble with the man Oh let the midnight special shine her light on me Oh let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me Well, if you ever go to Houston, than you'd better walk right And you have better not stagger and you'd better not fight Because the sheriff will arrest you, he's gonna take you down And when the jury finds you guilty, you're penitentiary bound Oh let the midnight special shine her light on me Oh let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me Well, yonder comes Miss Rosie, how in the world did I know? Well, I know her by her apron and the dress she wore An umbrella on her shoulder, a piece of paper in her hand She goes marching to the captain, she says "I want my man" Oh let the midnight special shine her light on me Oh let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me Everlovin' light on me
