Midnight Special

Midnight Special - Harry Belafonte

Well I wake up in the morning

And the ding dong ring

You go a marching to the table

You see the same old thing

Baby all I want to tell you

A knife a fork and a pan

And if you say a thing about it

Your in trouble with the man

Let the midnight special

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine it's ever loving light on me

Yes let the midnight special

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine it's ever loving light on me

If you're ever go to Houston

Then you better walk or ride

You better not stamble

And you better not by

'Cause Sheriff Benson will arrest you

He'll carry you on down

And if the jury finds you guilty

You're penitentiary bound

So let the midnight special

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine it's ever loving light on me

Oh yonder comes miss Rosie

How I wonder did you know

Well I know about apron

And the dress she wore

Umbrella on her shoulder

Piece of paper in her hand

She goes a walking to the captain

Says I'm losing my man

So let the midnight special

Shine it's light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine it's ever loving light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine it's light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine it's ever loving light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine it's light on me

Mama let that special
