If you ever go to Houston
Let me tell you how to walk
You better not squabble
You better not talk
Sheriff Benson will arrest you
And he'll sure knock you down
You can bet your bottom dollar
You'll be jailhouse bound Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me Let the midnight special
Shine its ever loving light on me
When you wake up in the morning
You hear the ding dong ring
You go marching to the table See the same darn thing
Blackjack and molasses And the same piece of fat
If you say anything about it
You won't get that
Let the midnight special Shine its light on me
Let the midnight special Shine its ever loving light on me
The undercumber is rosy
How in the world do I know
I can see on that woman And the dress she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder Piece of paper in her hand
I can see on that woman She's gonna lose her mind
Let the midnight special Shine its light on me
Let the midnight special Shine its ever loving light on me
Let the midnight special Shine its light on me
Let the midnight special Shine its ever loving light on me
Let the midnight special Shine its light on me
Let the midnight special Shine its ever loving light
on me
