Well, you wake up in the morning,
hear the ding -dong ring
And you march down to breakfast,
see the same darn thing
Now sittin' on the table,
a greasy pot, a greasy pan
And if you say a thing about it,
you're in trouble with the man
Let the Midnight Special
shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special
shine the ever -loving light on me
Let the Midnight Special
shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special
shine the ever -loving light on me
If you ever go to Houston,
well you better walk straight
And you better not stagger,
and you better not fight
Cause the sheriff will come and get you,
and he'll throw you in the can
An d if you say a thing about it,
you're in trouble with the man
Let the midnight special
shine the light on me
Let the midnight special
shine the ever -loving light on me
Let the midnight special
shine the light on me
Let the midnight special
shine the ever -loving light on me
Yon der comes Missy Rosie,
ask me how I know
Well, I can tell Missy Rosie
by the dress she wore
She's gonna bring a little coffee,
gonna bring a little tea,
gon na bring a little everything
But she'll never bring the jailhouse key
Let the midnight special
shine the light on me
Let the midnight special
shine the ever -loving light on me
Well, let the Midnight Special
shine the light on me
Let the Midnight Special
shine the ever -loving light on me
