[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
