Traditional Get your ticket at the station, get your dinner on board Well, you know I have to leave you but I don't wanna go Let the Midnight Special shine its light on me The Midnight Special to Santa Fe. If you ever go to Houston, oh you better walk right Well, you better not stagger and you better not fight 'Cause the sheriff will arrest you and he'll carry you down You can bet your bottom dollar, you're penitentiary bound. Wake up early in the morning, hear the ding dong ring Go walkin' to the table, see the same damn thing Let the Midnight Special shine its light on me The Midnight Special to Santa Fe. When you wake up in the morning, hear the rooster crow Don't wanna work but I got to go Don't wanna leave my baby, leave her all alone 'Cause when I get back, she may be gone. Get your ticket at the station, get your dinner on board Well, you know I have to leave you but I don't wanna go Let the Midnight Special shine its light on me The Midnight Special to Santa Fe.
