Midnight Special Lyrics by Van Morrison

Midnight Special

Well you wake up in the mornin
When the ding-dong ring [ding em man, ding em]
Go over to the table
See the same old [damn] thing

Nothing put upon the table
And nothin in my pan
Say anything about it
I get in trouble with the man

Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever lovin light on me

If you ever go to houston
Oh well you better walk right
You better not stagger
And you better not fight

Or the sheriff gonna rrest you
Lord, and carry you down
And if the jury find you guilty
Youre penitentiary bound

But let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever lovin light on me

Let the midnight special [hoo]
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever lovin light on me

Yonder comes miss rosie [yeah] [oh yeah]
How in the world do you know? [I be low]
Well I know her by her apron [oh yeah]
And the dress she wore

Umbrella on her shoulder
Piece of paper in her hand [yeah]
Shes a-gonna tell the captain
You tell him listen man

Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever lovin light on me
[me, me, me]

Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Well let the midnight special
Shine its ever lovin light on me

Well I done my time boy [well, yeah]
Who they caught with a crime
Well the man aint call me
He done be ridin down the line

But let the midnight special
Shine a light on me [yeah]
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever lovin light on me
