I Want My Time + 

I’m night guard all alone tonight, + 

Dead homesick, lonely, tired and blue; + 

And none but you can make it right; + 

My heart is hungry, Girl, for you. + 

I’ve longed all night to hug you, Dear; + 

To speak my love I’m at a loss. + 

But just as soon as daylight’s here + 

I’m goin’ straight to see the boss. + 

“How long’s the round-up goin’ to run? + 

Another week, or maybe three? + 

Give me my time, then, I am done. + 

No, I’m not sick. Three weeks? Oh gee!” + 

I know, though, when I’ve had enough. + 

I will not work⁠—darned if I will. + 

I’m goin’ to quit, and that’s no bluff. + 

Say, gimme some tobacco, Bill. + 
