Midnight Special In Abum The Skiffle Sessionslive In Be lyrics

Well you wake up in the mornin`

When the ding-dong ring (ding `em man, ding `em)

Go over to the table

See the same old (damn) thing



Nothing put upon the table

And nothin` in my pan

Say anything about it

I get in trouble with the man



Let the midnight special

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine it`s ever lovin` light on me



If you ever go to Houston

Oh well you better walk right

You better not stagger

And you better not fight



Or the sheriff gonna `rrest you

Lord, and carry you down

And if the jury find you guilty

You`re penitentiary bound



But let the midnight special

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine it`s ever lovin` light on me



Let the midnight special (hoo)

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine it`s ever lovin` light on me



Yonder comes Miss Rosie (yeah) (oh yeah)

How in the world do you know? (I be low)

Well I know her by her apron (oh yeah)

And the dress she wore



Umbrella on her shoulder

Piece of paper in her hand (yeah)

She`s a-gonna tell the Captain

You tell him listen man



Let the midnight special

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine it`s ever lovin` light on me

(Me, me, me)



Let the midnight special

Shine a light on me

Well let the midnight special

Shine it`s ever lovin` light on me



Well I done my time boy (well, yeah)

Who they caught with a crime

Well the man ain`t call me

He done be ridin` down the line



But let the midnight special

Shine a light on me (yeah)
