BLUES SONG OF THE DAY (Male): Alvin Lee: Midnight Special (Trad., arr. Lee) (From "Pump Iron", 1975, Chrysalis Records)
==========
You wake up in the mornin', 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
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
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 gov'nor, she wants to free her man
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me
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 ya and the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy, Oh! You're prison bound
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me.

Ten Years After - Recorded Live 1973
Recorded Live is the third live album by British blues rock musicians Ten Years After, which was released as a double LP in 1973.This album, containing no ov...
Album from that time. Slow Blues in C at 34:58. The early albums were near epic. Cricklewood Green on vinyl is a bit scarce. He covered others and wrote some good stuff. TYA mostly preferred bars over arenas. The Brits only came to US for the bucks, and played Europe when they could. He always shined on 12 bar blues. Fast as a cobra up close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDsqeeiCuME
