Ooo if you're ever in Houston, well you better do the right
Ain't no food upon the table and no pork up in the pan
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine a ever lovin' light on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine a ever lovin' light on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
But you better not complain boy, you'll get in trouble with the man
Yonder comin' Rosie, how in the world did you know?
The next thing you know boy, oh you're prison bound
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
You better not gamble, aey you better not fight at all
Or the Sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand
She come to see the Governor, she want to free her man
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine a ever lovin' light on me
By the way she wears her apron and the clothes she wore
