| [00:03.68] |
Well, you wake up in the mornin', |
| [00:10.09] |
You hear the work bell ring, |
| [00:15.81] |
And they march you to the table |
| [00:21.60] |
To see the same old thing. |
| [00:27.84] |
Ain't no food upon the table, |
| [00:33.49] |
And no pork up in the pan. |
| [00:39.97] |
But you better not complain, boy, |
| [00:46.53] |
You get in trouble with the man. |
| [00:53.06][01:00.86][01:08.58][01:54.75][02:02.35][02:10.12][02:56.35][03:03.95][03:11.58][03:26.95][03:34.79][03:42.96] |
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, |
| [01:16.21][02:17.65][03:19.33][03:50.48] |
Let the Midnight Special shine |
| [01:20.26][02:21.69][03:23.31] |
A ever lovin' light on me. |
| [01:23.93] |
Yonder come miss Rosie, |
| [01:28.00] |
How in the world did you know? |
| [01:31.77] |
By the way she wears her apron, |
| [01:35.59] |
And the clothes she wore. |
| [01:39.50] |
Umbrella on her shoulder, |
| [01:43.22] |
Piece of paper in her hand; |
| [01:47.41] |
She come to see the gov'nor, |
| [01:50.80] |
She wants to free her man. |
| [02:25.52] |
If you're ever in Houston, well, |
| [02:29.35] |
You better do the right; |
| [02:33.51] |
You better not gamble, there, |
| [02:37.07] |
You better not fight, at all |
| [02:40.74] |
Or the sheriff will grab ya |
| [02:44.70] |
And the boys will bring you down. |
| [02:48.81] |
The next thing you know, boy, |
| [02:52.18] |
Oh! You're prison bound. |
| [03:54.61] |
A everlovin' light on me. |
