Van Morrison - Midnight Special lyrics

Album: Bang Masters (1991)

Well you wake up in the mornin´
When the ding-dong ring (ding em man, ding ´em)
Go over to the table
Ya see the same old (damn) thing

Knife n´ fork upon the table
And nothin´ in my pan
Say anything about it
A-get 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 you ever go to Houston
Boy, ya better walk right
You better not stagger
And you better not fight

Or the sheriff gon´ arrest you
Lord, & carry you down
And if the jury find your guilty
You are penitentiary bound

But let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine an ever lovin´ light on me
Let the midnight special (hoo)
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine an ever lovin´ light on me

Yonder comes Miss Rosie (yea) (oh yea)
How in the world do you know? (how do ya know?)
Well, I know her by her apron (oh yea)
And the dress she wore

Umbrella on her shoulder
Piece a-paper in her hand (yea)
She has a-going to tell the (my) Captain
To let loose (release) her man

Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine an ever lovin´ light on me
(Me, me, me)

Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Well let the midnight special
Shine an ever lovin´ light on me

Well I done my time, boy (well, yea)
Hoot n´ holler n´ cryin´
Well the man are call me
An I will be ridin´ down the line

But let the midnight special (Lord)
Shine a light on me (yea)
A-let the midnight special
Shine it is ever lovin´ light on me.
