Lyrics

Well you wake up in the morning
Hear the ding dong ring
You go a-marching to the table
See the same damn thing;
Well, it's on a one table
Knife, a fork and a pan
And if you say anything about it
You're in trouble with the man

Cho: let the midnight special
Shine her light on me;
Let the midnight special
Shine her ever-loving light on me

If you ever go to houston
You better walk right;
You better not stagger
You better not fight;
Sheriff benson will arrest you
He'll carry you down
And if the jury finds you guilty
Penitentiary bound

Yonder come little rosie
How in the world do you know
L can tell her by her apron
And the dress she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder
Piece of paper in her hand
She goes a-marching to the captain
Says, "i want my man."

"I don' believe that rosie loves me"
"Well tell me why"
She ain't been to see me
Since las' july
She brought me little coffee
She brought me little tea
Brought me damn near ever'thing
But the jailhouse key

Yonder comes doctor adams
"How in the world do you know?"
Well he gave me a tablet
The day befo'
There ain't no doctor
In all the lan'
Can cure the fever
Of a convict man
