THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP lyrics - Midnight Special

(trad. arr. Spencer Davis)



Get your ticket at the station, get your dinner on board

Well you know I have to leave you but I don't wanna go

Let the Midnight Special shine its light on me

The Midnight Special to Santa Fe



If you ever go to Houston, oh you better walk right

Well you better not stagger and you better not fight

'Cause the sheriff will arrest you and he'll carry you down

You can bet your bottom dollar, you're penitentiary bound



Wake up early in the morning, hear the ding dong ring

Go walkin' to the table, see the same damn (thing)

Let the Midnight Special shine its light on me

The Midnight Special to Santa Fe



When you wake up in the morning, hear the rooster crow

Don't wanna work but I got to go

Don't wanna leave my baby, leave her all alone

'Cause when I get back, she may be gone



Get your ticket at the station, get your dinner on board

Well you know I have to leave you but I don't wanna go

Let the Midnight Special shine its light on me

The Midnight Special to Santa Fe
