Testo Midnight Special - Odetta
Testo della canzone Midnight Special (Odetta), tratta dall'album The Tradition Masters
Well, you wake up in the morning
Hear the ding-dong ring
You go marching to the table
You see the same old things
All on one table
Knife, a fork and a pan
And if you say a thing about it
You're in trouble with the man
Oh, let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine a heavy loving light on me
Oh, if you ever go to Houston
Oh man, you better walk right
You better not stagger
Lord knows, you better not fight
Sheriff, he'll arrest you
He'll carry you down
And if the jury finds you guilty
You're penitentiary-bound
Oh, let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine a heavy loving light on me
Oh, yonder comes Miss Rosie
How in the world do you know?
Well, I knowed her by her apron
And the dress she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder
A piece of paper in her hand
She goes a-walking to the captain
Said, "Turn loose my man"
Oh, let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine a heavy loving light on me
Oh well, I'm going to leave here
And my time ain't long
I'll be done with my grieving
And my great long song
Oh, let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine a heavy loving light on me
