"Early In The Morning" lyrics

Early in the mornin' and I can't get it right
Had a little date with my baby last night
Now it's early in the morning, early in the morning
Early in the morning and I ain't got nothing but the blues

I went to all the places where we used to go
Even went to his house but he don't live there no more
Now it's early in the morning, early in the morning
Early in the morning and I ain't got nothing but the blues

I went to the lions den but he was not about
Knocked on his mother's door and she began to shout
That it's early in the morning, early in the morning
Early in the morning and I ain't got nothing but the blues

I went to Dooky Chase to get something to eat
The waiter looked at me and said, "Girl, you sure look beat"
Now it's early in the morning, so early in the morning
Early in the morning and I ain't got nothing but the blues

I had a lot of money when I started out
Couldn't find my baby, now my money's run out
Now, it's early in the morning, so early in the morning
Early in the morning and I ain't got nothing but the blues

It's early in the morning, so early in the morning
Say it's early in the morning and I ain't got nothing but the blues
Early in the morning, so early in the morning
Early in the morning and I ain't got nothing but the blues
