Midnight Special
Author Unknown - Performed by Johny Rivers

[G]WELL, YOU GET UP IN THE M[C]ORNIN'
YOU HEAR THE DING DONG RI[G]NG
AND YOU LOOK UP ON THE TA[D7]BLE
YOU SEE THE SAME DAMN THI[G]NG[C][G]

THERE AIN'T NO FOOD UPON THE TABLE
THERE AIN'T NO PORK UP IN THE PAN
IF YOU SAY A THING ABOUT IT
YOU GET IN TROUBLE WITH THE MAN

CHORUS
[G]SO LET THE MIDNIGHT [C]SPECIAL
SHINE A LIGHT ON M[G]E
LET THE MIDNIGHT SPE[D7]CIAL
SHINE IT'S EVER LOVIN' LIGHT O[GCG]N ME

IF YOU'RE EVER IN HOUSTON
BOY YOU BETTER WALK RIGHT
YOU BETTER NOT GAMBLE
AND YOU BETTER NOT FIGHT

'CAUSE THE SHERIFF HE WILL GRAB YOU
AND HIS BOYS'LL PUT YOU DOWN
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT
YOU'RE PENITENTARY BOUND

CH.

YONDER COMI MISS LUCIE
HOW IN THE WORKD DID YOU KNOW?
I COULD TELL MY HER APRON
AND BY THE CLOTHES SHE WORE

SHE 'S GOT AN UMBRELLA ON HER SHOULDER
SHE'S GOT A PAPER IN HER HAND
SHE'S BEEN TO SEE THE GUV'NER
TRYIN' TO FREE HER MAN
