Lyrics Midnight Special - The Weavers
One
day,
one
day,
I
was
walking
along
I
heard
the
Midnight
Special
Singing
a
lonesome
song
Oh,
let
the
midnight
special,
shine
her
light
on
me
Oh,
let
the
midnight
special
shine
her
everlovin'
light
on
me
Now
you
wake
up
in
the
morning,
you'll
hear
the
ding
dong
ring
And
you
go
marching
to
the
table,
you
see
the
same
old
thing
Well
it's
sittin'
on
the
table,
a
knife,
a
fork,
and
a
pan
If
you
say
anything
about
it,
you're
in
trouble
with
the
man
Oh
let
the
midnight
special
shine
her
light
on
me
Oh
let
the
midnight
special
shine
her
everlovin'
light
on
me
Well,
if
you
ever
go
to
Houston,
then
you
better
walk
right
And
you
have
better
not
stagger
and
you
had
better
not
fight
Because
the
sheriff
will
arrest
you,
he's
gonna
take
you
down
And
you
can
bet
your
bottom
dollar,
you're
penitentiary
bound
Oh
let
the
midnight
special
shine
her
light
on
me
Oh
let
the
midnight
special
shine
her
everlovin'
light
on
me
Well,
yonder
comes
Miss
Rosie,
tell
me,
how
did
you
know?
I
know
by
the
color
of
her
apron
and
the
dress
she
wore
Well,
she
brought
me
a
little
coffee
And
she
brought
me
a
little
tea
She
brought
me
nearly
everything
Except
the
jailhouse
key
Oh
let
the
midnight
special
shine
her
light
on
me
Oh
let
the
midnight
special
shine
her
everlovin'
light
on
Her
everlovin'
light
on
me
