Midnight Special Songtext
von Downliners Sect

Wake up early in the morning
Hear the ding-dong ring
Come walkin′ to the station
See the same damn thing
Knife and fork up on the table
Nothin' in my hand
Well, if I complain about it
I′m in trouble with the man

Let the midnight special shine its light on me
Let the midnight special shine its ever-lovin' light on me


If you ever go to Houston
Well, you better walk right
And you better not stagger
And you better not fight
Or the sheriff will arrest you
And carry you down
And if the jury find you guilty
You're penitentiary bound

Let the midnight special shine its light on me
Let the midnight special shine its ever-lovin′ light on me

If you ever see my baby
You can tell her by her walk
You can tell her by her raincoat
And the dress she wore
She walked right up to the jailhouse
Money in her hand
Said, "Mr. Jailer, please release my man"

Let the midnight special shine its light on me
Let the midnight special shine its ever-lovin′ light on me
Let the midnight special shine its light on me
Let the midnight special shine its ever-lovin' light on me
