The
Midnight Special
J.C.
Fogerty
Well,
you wake up in the mornin’, you hear the ding dong ring,
you
go marchin’ to the table to see the same old thing
Ain’t
no food upon the table and no fork up in the pan.
If
you say a thing about it, you’re
in trouble with a man.
Chorus:
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
(3x)
Let
the Midnight Special shine a (everlovin’) light on me
Yonder
come Miss Rosie, tell me how do you know?
I
know her by
her apron and the
dress that she wore.
Umbrella
on her shoulder, Piece of paper in her hand;
She
says to the captain: “I want my lifetime man!”
Chorus:...
If
you ever go to Houston, Well, you better walk right;
You
better not stagger, and you better not fight;
Or
the sheriff will arrest you
and he’ll carry you down.
You
can bet your bottom dollar You’re sugarland
bound.
Chorus:...
