Wilma Lee Cooper - Big Midnight Special Şarkı Sözleri

Big midnight special shine your light on me
Big midnight special shine your ever loving light on me
Woke up this morning heard the whistle blow
The jailer said come boy it's time to go

I’ve never had the blues so in my life before
Till my baby left me at the station door
They put him in a Pullman guards around his door
Sent you off to Atlanta to serve ten years more

He looked all around him in the Pullman car
Saw the men wearing cloth hats smoking big cigars
Took him off in Atlanta at the end of the line
Said you start serving time boy for your awful crime
That whistle makes me lonesome on the midnight train
But he knows I'm a waiting till it brings him home again
