Well, you get up in the mornin'
You hear the ding -dong ring
You go marchin' to the table
You see the same damn thing
Lord, it's all around the table
A knife, a fork, and a pan
You get in trouble with the man
You let the midnight special
You're lonely, let the Midnight Special
Shine your ever -lovin' light on me
If you ever go to Houston,
then you better walk right
And you better not stagger,
That sheriff will arrest you,
and the judge will send you down
You can bet your bottom dollar,
you're penitentiary bound
You left the midnight special,
You left the midnight special,
shinin' rainbow love light on me
You know Julie says she loves me,
Lord, Julie ain't been here
Well, she bring me a little coffee,
and she bring me a little tea
And she'd bring me most of everything,
shine a light on Chen, on me
shine a ramblin' lovin' light on me
shine a light on Chen, on me
shine a ramblin' lovin' light on me you
