Midnight Special (Live) Lyrics
Midnight Special(Live) (Live) - Leadbelly
Yonder come miss Rosie how in the world do you know
Well I know by the apron and the dress she wore
Well an umbrella on her shoulder piece of paper in her hand
Well I'm gonna ask the governor he turn a-lose a-my man
Let the midnight special shine the light on me
Let the midnight special shine the ever-loving light on me
When you get up in the morning when that big bell ring
You go and march to the table see the same damn thing
Knife and fork are on the table there's nothing in my pan
And if you say anything about it havin' trouble with the man
Let the midnight special shine the light on me
Let the midnight special shine the ever-loving 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 sidnight 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
