Midnight Special

Midnight Special - Leadbelly

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 calling that Captain

Turn a loose my man

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me

Let the Midnight Special

Shine her ever loving 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

Let the Midnight Special

Shine her ever loving light on me

If you ever go to Houston

Oh you better walk right

And you better not squallow

And you better not fight

Sheriff Rocko will arrest you

Eddie Boone will take you down

You can bet your bottom dollar

That you're penitentary bound

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me

Let the Midnight Special

Shine her ever loving 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

Let the Midnight Special

Shine her ever loving light on me
