the midnight special

• creedence clearwater revilval parçası. twilight zone the movie'nin girişinde çalar; dan aykroyd da eşlik eder filmde.
• ankaralı gruplardan spitfire'ın süper yorumladığı şarkı. grubun basçısı cem malak'ın en sevdiği şarkı derler.
• 20. yüzyılın başlarında, a.b.d.'nin güney eyaletlerinde, hapishane yakınlarından geçen geceyarısı treninin gökyüzüne yükselen ışığının en büyük eğlence olduğu hapishanelerde söylenen geleneksel bir amerikan folk şarkısı. creedence clearwater revival da 1969 albümü willy and the poor boys'da seslendirmiştir bu şarkıyı. sözleri de şöyle:
  
  well, you wake up in the mornin' ^*, you hear the work bell ring
  and they march you to the table, you 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
  let the midnight special shine a light on me
  let the midnight special shine a ever lovin' 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 governor, she want to free her man
  let the midnight special shine a light on me
  let the midnight special shine a light on me
  let the midnight special shine a light on me
  let the midnight special shine a ever lovin' light on me
  ıf 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 light on me
  let the midnight special shine a light on me
  let the midnight special shine a ever lovin' light on me
  let the midnight special shine a light on me
  let the midnight special shine a light on me
  let the midnight special shine a light on me
  let the midnight special shine a ever lovin' light on me
