Night Time Is the Right Time

by Mance Lipscomb

on Captain, Captain! (1998)

Listen here baby, what I'm gonna say to you
I want you to know baby, I got the bye bye blues
Night time is the right time, be with the one you love

When you're out late at night, baby I can't rest
Baby you know the fool I'm honey, Baby won't I jest
Night time is the right time, be with the one you love

Grab my hat this morning, she followed me to the door
She says come back daddy, you don't have to go
Night time is the right time, be with the one you love, with the one you love

Cried last night, cried the whole night long
Cried last night, I cried the whole night long
I didn't miss my loved one until she had gone

Ya ain't gonna miss your water, 'til your well go dry
Ain't gonna miss your loved one until she say goodbye
Night time is the right time, be with the one you love, with the one you love

Don't the moon look pretty shining on through the tree
I can see my loved one when she don't see me
Night time is the right time, be with the one you love, with the one you love
