[Chorus]
Well, they call me the midnite rounder
Because I'm around every morning when the sun go down
And they call me the nice night nightlife type
And down by the river, I'll catch a can

[Verse 1]
Not far away
Is the light of day
It ain't no use to talk
About them old hard times

[Chorus]
But they call me the midnite rounder
Because I'm around every morning when the sun go down
And they call me the nice night nightlife type
And down by the rivеr, I'll catch a can

[Verse 2]
Yes, I got a girl
I wonder have you seen hеr?
She lives in that riverbank
You know they call Sabine

[Chorus]
Well, they call me the midnite rounder
Because I'm around every morning when the sun go down
And they call me the nice night nightlife type
And down by the river, I'll catch a can
[Verse 3]
The boss put me on nights
Honey, when do I ever see you?
I work straight through the weekend
Well, you know I miss the sunshine too

[Chorus]
Well, they call me the midnite rounder
Because I'm around every morning when the sun go down
And they call me the nice night nightlife type
And down by the river, I'll catch a can

[Verse 4]
If one of them old night men
Climbed up in a tree
There'd be no one there to sing
Nearer My God to Thee

[Chorus]
But they call me the midnite rounder
Because I'm around every morning when the sun go down
And they call me the nice night nightlife type
And down by the river, I'll catch a can
