- Midnight Special LyricsWell, I wake up in the mornin' (haa)
When the ding-dong ring (hee)
Walk over to the table
Ya see the same old thing
Nothin' put upon the table
Nothin' in my pan, well
Says anything about it
I get (I'm) in trouble with the man
Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine an ever-lovin' light on me
If ya ever go to Houston
Ya better walk right
You better not stagger
And you better not fight
Or the sheriff gon' arrest you
Lord, an' carry you down
Then if the jury find you guilty
You're penitentiary bound
Well, let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine an ever-lovin' light on me
Well, let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine an ever-lovin' light on me
Brother Nicky!
(Instrumental and string solo)
A-yonder come Miss Rosey (oh yeah)
How in the world do ya know? (how d'ya know?)
Well, I know her by her apron (oh yeah)
And the dress she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder (woo)
Piece a paper in her hand-a
She's a-gonna tell the captain
To release her man
Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine an ever-lovin' light on me
(Me, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Let the midnight special (ooo)
Shine a light on me (Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord)
Let the midnight special
Shine it's ever-lovin' light on a-me
Ay!
When the ding-dong ring (hee)
Walk over to the table
Ya see the same old thing
Nothin' put upon the table
Nothin' in my pan, well
Says anything about it
I get (I'm) in trouble with the man
Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine an ever-lovin' light on me
If ya ever go to Houston
Ya better walk right
You better not stagger
And you better not fight
Or the sheriff gon' arrest you
Lord, an' carry you down
Then if the jury find you guilty
You're penitentiary bound
Well, let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine an ever-lovin' light on me
Well, let the midnight special
Let the midnight special
Shine an ever-lovin' light on me
Brother Nicky!
