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 fide
'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
Ah 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
