The Midnight Special Lyrics - Billy Bragg

oh, wake up early in the morning 

when the ding-dong rings 

go walkin to the table 

see the same damn thing 

knife and fork upon the table 

ain't but nothing in the pan 

say anything about it 

get in trouble with the man 

well, shine a light on x2 

let the midnight station shine its ever-loving light on me 

well, shine a light on 

and it would be long 

well, shine a light on 

let the midnight station shine its ever-loving light on me 

Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the hell'd you know? 

well i know her by her apron 

and the dress she wore 

Umbrella on her shoulder, 

piece of paper in her hand; 

She's come to tell the gov'nor, 

'set loose my man' 

well, shine a light on x2 

let the midnight station shine its ever-loving light on me 

well, shine a light on 

and it would be long 

well, shine a light on 

let the midnight station shine its ever-loving light on me 

if you ever go to Houston, well, 

you better walk right 

you better not stagger, there, 

you better not fight 

or the police, the will arrest you 

and they will carry you down 

and the next thing you know is 

you're penitentiary bound 

well, shine a light on x2 

let the midnight station shine its ever-loving light on me 

well, shine a light on 

and it would be long 

well, shine a light on 

let the midnight station shine its ever-loving light on me 

oh, light on x2 

oh, let the midnight station shine its ever-loving light on me 

oh, light on 

and it wouldn't be long 

shine a light on 

let the midnight station shine its ever-loving light on me
