If you evah go to Houston, <br />You better walk right; <br />You better not gamble <br />And you better not fight. <br />T. Bentley will arrest you, <br />He'll surely take you down; <br />Judge Nelson'll sentence you, <br />Then you're jailhouse bound. <br /> <br />O let the Midnight Special <br />Shine a light on me, <br />Let the Midnight Special <br />Shine a evah lovin' light on me! <br /> <br />Every Monday mawnin', <br />When the ding-dong rings, <br />You go to the table, <br />See the same damn things; <br />And on the table, <br />There's a knife an' pan, <br />Say anything about it, <br />Have trouble with a man. <br /> <br />O let the Midnight Special <br />Shine a light on me, <br />Let the Midnight Special <br />Shine a evah lovin' light on me! <br /> <br />Yondah come Miss Rosy; <br />Oh, how do you know? <br />By th' umbrella on her shoulder <br />An' the dress that she woah! <br />Straw hat on her head, <br />Piece of paper in her hand, <br />Says, "Look here, Mr. Jailer, <br />I wants my life-time man." <br /> <br />O let the Midnight Special <br />Shine a light on me, <br />Let the Midnight Special <br />Shine a evah lovin' light on me!<br /><br />Anonymous<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/midnight-special/
