WELL, YOU GET UP IN THE MORNIN'
G
YOU HEAR THE DING DONG RING
D7
AND YOU LOOK UP ON THE TABLE
G C G
YOU SEE THE SAME DAMN THING
THERE AIN'T NO FOOD UPON THE TABLE
THERE AIN'T NO PORK UP IN THE PAN
IF YOU SAY A THING ABOUT IT
YOU GET IN TROUBLE WITH THE MAN
CHORUS

SHINE A LIGHT ON ME
D7

SHINE IT'S EVER LOVIN' LIGHT ON ME
IF YOU'RE EVER IN HOUSTON
BOY YOU BETTER WALK RIGHT
YOU BETTER NOT GAMBLE

AND HIS BOYS'LL PUT YOU DOWN
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT
YOU'RE PENITENTARY BOUND

YONDER COMI MISS LUCIE
HOW IN THE WORKD DID YOU KNOW?
I COULD TELL MY HER APRON
AND BY THE CLOTHES SHE WORE
SHE 'S GOT AN UMBRELLA ON HER SHOULDER
SHE'S GOT A PAPER IN HER HAND
SHE'S BEEN TO SEE THE GUV'NER
TRYIN' TO FREE HER MAN
