Midnight Special (version 2)
Huddie Ledbetter

Well you wake up in the morning, hear the ding dong ring,nYou go a-marching to the table, see the same damn thingnWell, it's on a one table, knife, a fork and a pan,nand if you say anything about it, you're in trouble with the mannnLet the midnight special, shine her light on menLet the midnight special, shine her ever-loving light on mennIf you ever go to Houston, you better walk right, you better not stagger, you better not fightnSheriff Benson will arrest you, he'll carry you downnAnd if the jury finds you guilty, penitentiary boundnnYonder come little Rosie, how in the world do you knownI can tell her by her apron, and the dress she worenUmbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her handnShe goes a-marching to the captain, says, I want my mannnI don' believe that Rosie loves me, well tell me whynShe ain't been to see me, since las' JulynShe brought me little coffee, she brought me little teanBrought me damn near ever'thing but the jailhouse keynnYonder comes doctor Adams, How in the world do you know?nWell he gave me a tablet, the day befo'nThere ain't no doctor, in all the lan'nCan cure the fever of a convict man
