Graveyard Shift Lyrics - Wilburn Brothers

Graveyard shift works all night long it works from sunset till early dawn 

The work is hard but your back is strong graveyard shift works all night long 

While everybody else is a snoozin' away I got a night job and I sleep in the day 

It wouldn't be so bad if they paid me good 

But they put me at the bottom of the brotherhood 

Graveyard shift works... 

Got a newly wed wife that I never get to see 

By the time I get home it's time for her to be 

Gettin' to work down at the A and P at the rake we're goin' we'll never be three 

Graveyard shift works... 

I'm a God fearin' man just as plain as I can be 

A black cup of coffee is good enough for me 

And it takes about a gallon to give me the lift 

That I need to get me through on the graveyard shift 

Graveyard shift works...
