Verse

Well, you wake up in the mornin', you hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table, you see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me

Chorus

Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me
Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?

Verse

By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand

Chorus

She come to see the governor, she want to free her man
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me
If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right
You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all

Verse

Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy, oh, you're prison bound
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me

Chorus

Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me

Outro

Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me

Silence
