Ya get up in the mornin'
Ya hear the ding-dong ring

Now you look upon the table
You see the same darn
thing
Ya get up in the mornin'
Ya hear the ding-dong ring
Now you look upon the table
You see the same darn
thing

You find no food upon
the table
N0 fork up in the pan
But if ya say a thing about it
Ya be in trouble with
the man
Ah, let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Oh, let the midnight special
Shine its ever lovin' light
But if ya say a thing about it
Ya be in trouble with
the man
Ah, let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Oh, let the midnight special
Shine its ever lovin' light
on me

Now if you ever in Houston
Woaa, you better walk right
Aww, you better not
gamble, boy

An say you better not fight
Well now the sheriff he'll
grab you
And the boys'll pull you
down

And then before you know it
You're penitentiary bound
Ah, let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Oh, let the midnight special
Shine its ever lovin' light
on me
Here comes Miss Lucy
How in the world do ya
know?

I can tell by her apron
And by the clothes she wore
An umbrella on her shoulder
She got a paper in her hand
She gonna see the warden
To try to free her man
So let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
An umbrella on her shoulder
She got a paper in her hand
She gonna see the warden
To try to free her man
So let the midnight special
Shine a light on me

Oh, let the midnight special
Shine its ever lovin' light
on me
I said, let the midnight

special
Shine a light on me-he
Oh, let the midnight special
Shine its ever lovin' light

on me
