Midnight Special lyrics

Well you wake up early in the morning

Hear the ding dong bell

You go a-walkin' to the table

See the same damn thing

Knife and fork out on the table

Piece of paper round my hand

Nothing I can do about it

I'll get in trouble with the man

Let the midnight special

Shine her light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine his ever-loving light on me

If you ever go to Houston

You better act right

You better not gamble

And you better not fight

Because the Sheriff will arrest you

And he'll carry you down

And if they go and find you guilty

Penitentiary bound.

Let the midnight special

Shine her light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine his ever-loving light on me.

Well you wake up early in the morning

Hear the ding dong bell

You go a-walkin' to the table

See the same damn thing

Knife and fork out on the table

Piece of paper in my hand

Nothing I can do about it

I'll get in trouble with the man.

Let the midnight special

Shine her light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine his ever-loving light on me.

Well if I ever go to Houston

You better act right

You better not gamble

And you better not fight

Because the Sheriff will arrest you

And they'll carry you down

And if they find you guilty

Well you'll be sugar-line bound.

Let the midnight special

Shine his light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine his ever-loving light on me.
