Banjo Heritage 👉   / cliftonhicks  
We learned "Midnight Special" from a recording of Huddie William "Lead Belly" Ledbetter. @CousinErn Aaron Stephens of Monteagle, Tennessee, on the 1920s Cincinnatus guitar. My instrument is an 1888 Thompson & Odell "Luscomb" banjo tuned eBEG♯B ~ gDGBD.

Yonder comes Miss Rosie
How in the world did you know?
By the way she was walking
And the clothes she wore.

Umbrella on her shoulder
Piece of paper in her hand,
She come to ask the governor
To turn loose her man.

If you're ever in Atlanta
Boy you better do it right,
You better not squabble
And you better not fight.

Police will grab you
And they'll bring you down,
Next thing you know
You're prison-bound.

Wake up in the morning
When the big bell ring,
March you to the table
You see the same damn thing.

Knife and fork on the table
No food in my pan,
If I make a complaint
I'll get in trouble with the man.
