Midnight Special Sözleri

(Trad. arr Lonnie Donegan & Van Morrison)

Well, I wake up in the mornin' (haa)

When the ding-dong ring (hee)

Walk over to the table

Ya see the same old thing

Nothin' put upon the table

Nothin' in my pan, well

Says anything about it

I get (I'm) in trouble with the man

Let the midnight special

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine an ever-lovin' light on me

If ya ever go to Houston

Ya better walk right

You better not stagger

And you better not fight

Or the sheriff gon' arrest you

Lord, an' carry you down

Then if the jury find you guilty

You're penitentiary bound

Well, let the midnight special

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine an ever-lovin' light on me

Well, let the midnight special

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine an ever-lovin' light on me

Brother Nicky!

(Instrumental and string solo)

A-yonder come Miss Rosey (oh yeah)

How in the world do ya know? (how d'ya know?)

Well, I know her by her apron (oh yeah)

And the dress she wore

Umbrella on her shoulder (woo)

Piece a paper in her hand-a

She's a-gonna tell the captain

To release her man

Let the midnight special

Shine a light on me

Let the midnight special

Shine an ever-lovin' light on me

(Me, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Let the midnight special (ooo)

Shine a light on me (Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord)

Let the midnight special

Shine it's ever-lovin' light on a-me

Ay!
