Weeeell

                   A7                       (lent, après coup)
You wake up in the mornin'
                       E(7)
You hear the work bell ring
                          B7
And they march you to the table
                    E     g~ e
To see the same old thing

Ain't no food upon the table
And no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy
You get in trouble with the man             oox  oox

  Let the Midnight Special                  (moins)
  Shine a light on me
  Let the Midnight Special
  Shine a light on me

  Let the Midnight Special                  (embarque)
  Shine a light on me
  Let the Midnight Special
  Shine a everlovin' light on me            (extra B7)

Yonder come Miss Rosie
How in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron
And the clothes she wore

Umbrella on her shoulder
Piece of paper in her hand
She come to see the governor
She wants to free her man

  Refrain

If you're ever in Houston
Well, you better do the right
You better not gamble
There you better not fight, at all

Or the sheriff will grab ya
And the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy
Oh you're prison bound

  Refrain

fin: light... on... me                      (reste B7)
