Midnight Special (in album The Skiffle Sessions - Live In Belfast)
Van Morrison
Well you wake up in the mornin' When the ding-dong ring (ding 'em man, ding 'em) Go over to the table See the same old (damn) thing Nothing put upon the table And nothin' in my pan Say anything about it I get in trouble with the man Let the midnight special Shine a light on me Let the midnight special Shine it's ever lovin' light on me If you ever go to Houston Oh well you better walk right You better not stagger And you better not fight Or the sheriff gonna 'rrest you Lord, and carry you down And if the jury find you guilty You're penitentiary bound But let the midnight special Shine a light on me Let the midnight special Shine it's ever lovin' light on me Let the midnight special (hoo) Shine a light on me Let the midnight special Shine it's ever lovin' light on me Yonder comes Miss Rosie (yeah) (oh yeah) How in the world do you know? (I be low) Well I know her by her apron (oh yeah) And the dress she wore Umbrella on her shoulder Piece of paper in her hand (yeah) She's a-gonna tell the Captain You tell him listen man Let the midnight special Shine a light on me Let the midnight special Shine it's ever lovin' light on me (Me, me, me) Let the midnight special Shine a light on me Well let the midnight special Shine it's ever lovin' light on me Well I done my time boy (well, yeah) Who they caught with a crime Well the man ain't call me He done be ridin' down the line But let the midnight special Shine a light on me (yeah) Let the midnight special Shine it's ever lovin' light on menone.
