And now,Ladies and gentleman,
The Brothers four!
The Brothers Four-The Midnight Special
If you ever go to Houston boy better walk alright,
You'd better not stagger and you'd better not fight.
For a sheriff will arrest you, and take you on down,
when the jury finds you guilty - buddy, you're prison bound.
Well, you wake up in the prison, ya hear the ding-dong ring,
Then you march to the table, you see the same old thing.
Well you sitting on the table, like a pork in the 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 ever-loving light on me.
Linda brought a cup of coffee and she brought a little tea;
She brought me nearly everything, except a jailhouse-key.
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
let the midnight special shine a ever-loving light on me.
