[Verse 1]

Every night, the sun goes down

I hate it cause you’re not around

I ask you why you have to go

Somebody's gotta work, you know

Pack my bags and we head out

Then you take me to grandma house

Drop me off and tuck me in

I ask when you’ll be home again

[Chorus]

And I say

Ooh, no, momma, please don’t go

Don’t up and leave me all alone

Cause you don’t get home 'til five or six

When momma works the graveyard shift

And I say

Ooh, no, momma, please don’t go

Don’t up and leave me all alone

Cause you don’t get home 'til five or six

When momma works the graveyard shift

[Verse 2]

Then when I get out of school

I see your car and run to you

You ask me all about my day

It feels so good to see your face

Then I have you for some time

You’re here for me, you’re only mine

But I know it won’t be for long

You’re here today, tonight you’re gone

[Chorus]

And I say

Ooh, no, momma, please don’t go

Don’t up and leave me all alone

Cause you don’t get home 'til five or six

When momma works the graveyard shift

And I say

Ooh, no, momma, please don’t go

Don’t up and leave me all alone

Cause you don’t get home 'til five or six

When momma works the graveyard shift

Ooh, no, momma, please don’t go

Don’t up and leave me all alone

Cause you don’t get home 'til five or six

When momma works the graveyard shift

And I say

Ooh, no, momma, please don’t go

Don’t up and leave me all alone

Cause you don’t get home 'til five or six

When momma works the graveyard shift
