| 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' |
| (harmonica & guitar) |
| '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 |
