Karaoké Midnight Special Johnny Rivers

You get up in the mornin'

You hear the ding dong ring

Now you look up on the table

You see the same darn thing

You find no food upon the table

No pork up in the pan

But if you say a thing about it

You'll be in trouble with the man

Ah let the Midnight Special shine a light on me

Oh let the Midnight Special shine its ever lovin' light on me

Now if you're ever in a Houston

Oh, you better walk right

Aw, you better not gamble boy

I say you better not fight

Well now the sheriff he will grab you

And the boys will pull you down

And then before you know it you're penitentiary bound

Ah let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, ooh

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

Here comes Miss Lucy how in the world do you know

I can tell by her apron and by the clothes she wore

An umbrella on her shoulder she got a paper in her hand

She gonna see the warden to try to free her man

So let the Midnight Special shine a light on me

Oh, let the Midnight Special shine its ever lovin' light on me

I said let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, eeh

Ah let the Midnight Special shine its ever lovin' light on me
