Graveyard Shift - Lyrics - The Wilburn Brothers

The Wilburn Brothers were a popular American country music duo from the 1950s to the 1970s consisting of brothers Doyle Wilburn and Teddy Wilburn .

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...
