Midnight Special Lyrics
Midnight Special - Lead Belly
Yonder comes miss rosie
How in the world do you know
Well I know her by the apron and the dress she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder
Piece of paper in her hand
Well I'm callin' that captain
Turn a loose my man
Let the midnight special shine her light on me
Oh let the midnight special
Shine her ever lovin' light on me
When you gets up in the morning
When that big bell ring
You go marching to the table
You meet the same old thing
Knife and fork are on the table
Ain't nothing in my pan
And if you say a thing about it
You have a trouble with the man
Let the midnight special shine her light on me
Oh let the midnight special
Shine her ever lovin' light on me
If you ever go to houston
Boy you better walk right
And you better not squabble and you better not fight
Benson crocker will arrest you
Jimmy boone will take you down
You can bet your bottom dollar
That you're sugarland bound
Let the midnight special shine her light on me
Oh let the midnight special
Shine her ever lovin' light on me
Well jumping little judy
She was a mighty fine girl
She brought jumping to this whole round world
Well she brought it in the morning
Just a while before day
Well she brought me the news that my wife was dead
That started me to grieving whooping
Hollering and crying
And I began to worry about my very long time
Let the midnight special shine her light on me
Oh let the midnight special
Shine her ever lovin' light on me
