Ray Charles - This Is My Night To Howl lyrics

[Intro] When the church bells sound my plight I'll look like a ghost in white But tonight I'm still a live one It's the kid's last fight [Verse] There's a marital knot, and at noon I'll tie it All of my friends say I ought to try it If I must go, then I won't go quiet This is my night to howl! I knew all of the boys who were well worth knowing Sowed all my oats and I'm good at sowing This is the time when the hen starts crowing This is my night to howl! "The prisoner ate a hearty meal" I know what that means all right I'm tramping along that last long mile With a hell of an appetite While I still am alive I am going to mingle Till I throw in the towel I may be dead when the church bells jingle This is my night This is my night to howl!
