Van morrison midnight special (in abum the skiffle sessions - live in bel lyrics

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 me
