Prowling Nighthawk Songtext
von Robert Lee McCoy

Now, I am the prowlin′ nighthawk
I prowl ev'ryday an night
Now, I am the prowlin′ nighthawk
I prowl ev'ryday and night
An the reason I prowl so long
My baby don't treat me right

I have prowled so long
′Till it made my knee bones so′
I have prowled so long
'Till it have made my knee bones so′
But when I find the little girl that I love
You won't see me prowl no mo′


Someday
I ain't gon′ be no prowlin' man
I said, someday
I won't be no prowlin′ man
I said I ain′t gon' be mischievious
Ain′t gonna be too hard to understand

'Play it, play it, boy′

'You know you′ve been trav'lin' like I have′
′Play that thing, boy'

Now, I′ve been ramblin' an prowlin′
Ever since I was twelve years old
I have been ramblin' an prowlin′
Ever since I was twelve years old
An I wouldn't stop ramblin'
For my weight in gold

But someday
I ain′t gon′ prowl no mo'
Yes, someday
I ain′t gon' prowl no mo′
But you know right now
I haven't got no place to go.
