The Midnight Special

1

D When you get up in the G morning when the ding dong D ring

You make it to the A7 table, see the same old D thing.

Ain't nothing on the G table, but the pots and the D pans

Say anything a- A7 bout it, have trouble with the D man

Refrein

Let the Midnight G Special shine your light on D me.

Let the Midnight A7 Special shine your ever-living lights on D me

2

Yonder comes a Little G Nora. How do you D know?

I know her by the A7 apron, and the dress she D wear.

Umbrella on her G shoulder, piece of paper in her D hand,

Looking for some A7 sergeant to release her D man.

3

I never had the G blues so, in all my life D before,

Than when my baby A7 left me, at the jailhouse D door.

Oh, she left me G crying, the tears rolled down her D face.

Says, "I'd rather see you A7 dead, boy, than in this D place."

4

When you go to the G city, boys, you better have the D kale,

Or the law, they'll ar- A7 rest you, and they'll put you in D jail.

The judge he'll G fine you, they'll shake you D down,

If you haven't got the A7 money, boys, you're jailhouse D bound.

5

If you got a good man, G woman, you better keep him at D home,

For those city A7 women won't leave him D alone.

They'll paint and G powder, they sure look D swell,

And the first thing A7 you know, woman, your man's gone to -uh- sing- D ing
