Midnight Special
Well, you wake up in the mornin', you hear the ding dong ring They'll march you to the table, you see the same old thing Knife and fork on the table, nothin' in the pan And if you say anythin' about it, you're 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 Well if you're ever go to Houston, well, you better walk right And you better not stagger, and you better not fight, Sheriff Benson will arrest you and he'll carry you down And you can bet your bottom dollar, you're penitentiary bound Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me Well yonder come Miss Rosie, how in the world do you know? I can tell her by her apron, and the dress she wore Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand Well she's marched up to the captain, says I want my man Let the Midnight Special shine it's light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' Ever lovin', ever lovin', light on me Aus Songtexte Mania
