The Midnight Special Lyrics

The Midnight Special lyrics

You get up in the mornin' 

  You here the ding dong ring 

  Now you look upon the table 

  You see the same darn thing 

  You find no food upon the table 

  No pork up in the pan 

  But if you say a thing about it 

  You'll be in trouble with the man 

  

  Ah, let the midnight special shine her light on me 

  Oh, let the midnight special shine its ever-lovin' light on me 

  

  Now if you're ever in a Houston 

  Oh, you better walk right 

  Ah, you better not gamble boy 

  I say you better not fight 

  Well now the sheriff he'll grab you 

  And the boys will pull you down 

  And then before you know it 

  You're penitentiary bound 

  

  Ah, let the midnight special shine her light on me, wooo 

  Let the midnight special shine its ever-lovin' light on me 

  

  ------ lead guitar ------ 

  

  Here comes Miss Lucy 

  How in the world do you know 

  I can tell by her apron 

  And by the clothes she wore 

  An umbrella on her shoulder 

  She got a paper in her hand 

  She gonna see the warden 

  To try to free her man 

  

  So, let the midnight special shine her light on me 

  Oh, let the midnight special shine its ever-lovin' light on me 

  I said, let the midnight special shine her light on me-ee 

  Oh, let the midnight special shine its ever-lovin' light on me
