Well, it was early in the morning When my blues come falling down I want to tell you, it was early in the morning now When my blues come falling down
Well, you know, you know, it felt so, so bad When my baby, yeah, she's been around
Whoa, it was but a while after midnight When the rooster crowed for day Whoa, it was but a while after midnight When that rooster began to crow for day
Well, I been mistreating my baby That's about a crime that I need to pay
Come back, baby Whoa, please don't go I said, come back, baby Come on, darling, please don't go
Well, you know the way I love you rider More than you ever know
Yes Lord, please stop her I won't get drunk no more Whoa Lord, please stop her now I want to tell you that I won't drunk no more
Well, you know she put me out in the morning She drive this poor boy from her door
