DWell...., you wake up in the Gmornin, you hear the work bell Dring,
And they march you to the AtableA7 to see the same old Dthing.
Ain't no food upon the Gtable, and no pork up in the Dpan.
But you better not comAplain,A7 boy, you get in Atrouble with the Dman.
Let the midnight G*special shine a light on D*me,
Let the midnight A*specialA7 shine a light on Dme,
Let the midnight Gspecial shine a light on Dme,
Let the midnight AspecialA7 shine a everlovin Alight on Dme.
D*Yonder come Miss GRosie, how in the world did you Dknow?
By the way she wears her Aapron,A7 and the clothes she Dwore.
Umbrella on her Gshoulder, piece of paper in her Dhand;
She come to see the Agovnor,A7 she wants to Afree her Dman.
Let the midnight Gspecial shine a light on Dme,
Let the midnight AspecialA7 shine a light on Dme,
Let the midnight Gspecial shine a light on Dme,
Let the midnight AspecialA7 shine a everlovin Alight on Dme.
DIf you're ever in GHouston, well, you better do the Dright;
You better not Agamble,A7 there, you better not Dfight, at all
Or the sheriff will Ggrab ya and the boys will bring you Ddown.
The next thing you Aknow,A7 boy, oh! You're Aprison Dbound.
