I'm the night watchman, and I don't be seen in the day
I'm the night watchman, and I don't be seen in the day
I clock dues my work at night, hoo now I'm happy and gay
Round factories and sawmills, babe you'll always see me there
Yeah baby, I declare you'll always see me there
Now don't be scared to call me, hoo lawd I got plenty of time to spare
I'm known in this country, to be the best night watchman in town
I declare I'm the best night watchman in town
Now two o'clock need punchin', hoo lawd I'm punchin' on my next go around
I've got a lot of competition, baby but I can't lose
Yeah, a lot of competition, lawd but I declare I can't lose
I know I've got to win, hoo lawd I declare but this hardly news
I makes it around, to my clocks baby every night
I makes it around, I mean to my clocks every night
I declare I love to punch the clocks baby
Hoo lawd, when the moon is shining bright
