The Midnight Special

The Midnight Special - The Weavers

Lyrics by：Pete Seeger

Composed by：Pete Seeger

Oh let the midnight special

Shine her light on me

Oh let the midnight special

Shine her everlovin' light on me

Now you wake up in the morning

You hear the ding dong ring

And you go marching to the table

You see the same old thing

Well it's on the table

A knife a fork and the pan

If you say anything about it you're in trouble with the man

Oh let the midnight special shine her light on me

Oh let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me

Well if you ever go to Houston than you'd better walk right

And you have better not stagger and you'd better not fight

Because the sheriff will arrest you he's gonna take you down

And you can let you bottom doller

You're penitentiary bound

Oh let the midnight special shine her light on me

Oh let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me

Well yonder comes Miss Rosie tell me how do you know

I know her by her apron and the dress she wore

Well she brock me little coffe

Well she brock me little tea

That girl brock me here the everything

Let's up the jail house key

Oh let the midnight special shine her light on me

Oh let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me
