Midnight Special [take 7] Songtext
von Van Morrison

(Let the midnight special) Let the midnight special
(Shine it′s light on me) Shine light on me
(Let the midnight special) Let the midnight
(Shine its ever lovin' light on me) Shine an ever lovin′ light on me

Wake up early in the mornin'
Light it up when the ding-dong ring
You go down to the kitchen
All you see the same old thing

Knife n' for upon the table
And nothing in your pan
Who been messing up my pan?
Now you′re getting in trouble with a man
You get trouble with a man?


(Let the midnight special) Let the midnight special, babe
(Shine it′s light on me) Lord, shine light on me
(Let the midnight special) Let the midnight special
(Shine its ever lovin' light on me)
Shine an ever lovin′, ever lovin', ever lovin′ light

Did you ever go down to Houston, baby?
Love, ya better walk right
You better not jump, boy
Love, you better not fight

The sheriff's gonna arrest you
Any job to send you down
You′ve been back, you, bound dollar
You'll be shambling bound, shambling bound

(Let the midnight special) Let the midnight special
(Shine it's light on me) Shine light on me
(Let the midnight special) Let the midnight
(Shine its ever lovin′ light on me) Shine, shine shine

(Let the midnight special) Shine, shine, shine, shine
(Shine it′s light on me) In the midnight, in the midnight
(Let the midnight special) That's what I′m talking about
(Shine its ever lovin' light on me) Love when in the midnight


(Let the midnight special) Let it shine, shine, shine, shine, shine
(Shine it′s light on me) Shine on me
