Odetta - Midnight Special (Live) lyrics

Well, you wake up in the morning, hear the ding dong ring Ya go marching to the table, ya see the same old things All on one table, knife, a fork and a pan And it ya say a thing about it, you're in trouble with the man Oh, let the Midnight Special shine her light on me Let the Midnight Special shine her ever loving light on me Oh, if you ever go to Houston, ya better walk right Ya better not stagger, you'd better not fight Sheriff he'll arrest you, he'll carry ya down And if the jury finds ya guilty, you're penitentiary bound Oh, let the Midnight Special shine her light on me Let the Midnight Special shine her ever loving light on me "O yonder comes Miss Rosie! "How in the world do ya know? "Well, I knowed her by her apron and the dress she wore Umbrella on her shoulder, a piece of paper in her hand She goes a walking to the captain, said, "Turn loose my man Oh, let the Midnight Special shine her light on me Let the Midnight Special shine her ever loving light on me
