Well, you wake up in the morning, hear the dingdong ring,
Ya go marchin' to the table, ya see the same old things, All on one table, knife, a fork and a pan, And it ya say a thing about it, you're in trouble with the man. Chorus: Oh, let the Midnight Special shine her light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin' light on me. Oh, if you ever go to Houston, oh, man, ya better walk right, Ya better not stagger, Lord knows, you'd better not fight. Sheriff he'll arrest you, he'll carry ya down, And if the jury finds ya guilty, you're penitentiary boun'. (Chorus) "O yonder comes Miss Rosie!" "How in the world do ya know?" "Well, I knowed her by her apron and the dress she wore, Umbrella on her shoulder, a piece of paper in her han'. She goes a-walkin' to the captain, said, 'Turn loose my man!'" (Chorus) Well, I'm goin'-a leave you, and my time ain't long, I'll be done wi' my grievin' and my great long song. (Chorus) |

I one dressed up and went to town
To court a fair young lady. When I inquired about her name, Her name was Devilish Mary. Chorus: Come fa la ling come, ling come, Fa la ling come, day. Fa la ling come, ling come, Fa la ling come, day. When me and Mary began to spark, She got in a hurry, Made it all up in her mind, She'd marry me next Thursday. (Chorus) Hadn't been married for about two weeks, Before we oughta been parted. Hadn't said one single word, She'd kicked up her heels and started. (Chorus) One day I said to Mary, "Think we ought to be parted." And just as soon as I said the word, She packed all her clothes and started. (Chorus) She washed my clothes in old soap suds, And filled up my bathtub with switches. She let me know right from the start She was gonna wear my britches. (Chorus) Now if I ever marry again, It'll be for love not riches. Marry a little girl about two feet high, And she can't wear my britches. (Chorus) |

Packed his trunks and said, "I'm goin' away, And I won't be back until ya change your funny ways." And he said, "I'll write you soon's I find the time, Honey, I'll write you soon's I find the time." He's been gone so long, I guess he just couldn't spare the dime. And he said, "I'm leavin', almost breaks my heart, Honey, I'm leavin', almost breaks my heart, But, remember, sometime the best of friends must part." And I run, run to my window, train go rollin' by, Run to window, train go rollin' by. I got the blues so bad that I could lay me down and die. Now, hey, hey, mister mailman, did ya bring me any news? Hey, mister mailman, bring me any news? Well, if I didn't get a letter, I got the special delivery blues. |

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That jesus christ is born While shepherds kept their watching Over silent flocks by night Behold throughout the heavens There shone a holy light Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That jesus christ is born The shepherds feared and trembled When lo! above the earth Rang out the angels chorus That hailed the savior's birth Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That jesus christ is born Down in a lowly manger The humble christ was born And god sent us salvation That blessa¨d christmas morn' Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That jesus christ is born. |
