When you wake up in the morning,
hear the ding dong ring
Go marching to the table,
you get the same damn thing
Knife and fork are on the table,
nothing in my pan
Say anything about it,
got trouble with a man
Let the Midnight Special
shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special
shine a ever -loving light on me
Now if you ever go to Houston,
boys, you better act right
Well, you better not squabble
and you better not fight
Benson Brockel will arrest you,
he will take you down
Jewelry fine, you're guilty,
you're a Sugarland bum
Let the Midnight Special
shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special
shine a ever -loving light on me
Well, Jumpin' Little Judy
was a mighty fine gal
Little Judy brought jumpin'
to this whole wide world
Lord, she brought it in the mornin'
just a while for a day
She brought me the news
that my wife was dead
God started me to grievin'
and a hollerin' and a cryin'
Started me to thinkin'
about my great long time
let the midnight special
shine a light on me,
let the midnight special
shine a river lovin' light on me.
Yonder come my woman,
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
Marchin' up to the captain
Says I want my man
Let the Midnight Special
shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special
shine a river -lovin' light on me
Let the Midnight Special
shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special
shine a river -lovin' light on me
