Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Midnight Special [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Well, you wake up in the morning, you hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man

[Chorus:]
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me [x3]
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever loving light on me

[Verse 2]
Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand
She come to see the governor, she wants to free her man

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right
You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all
Or the sheriff will grab you and the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy, Oh! You're prison bound

[Chorus x2]
