Early in the morning I can't get right
I had a little date with my baby last night
I said, early in the morning
I know it's early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I went to the places where we used to go
I went to her house and she don't live there no more
I said, early in the morning
I know it's early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I went to a girlfriend's house and she was out
I knocked on her father's door and he began to shout
I said early in the morning
I know it's early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I went to Bob Evans to get me something to eat
The waitress looked at me and said, Buddy, you sure look beat
I said early in the morning
I know it's early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues
I had a lot of money when I started out
I can't find my baby, you know, my money run out
I said early in the morning
I know it's early in the morning
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues
Early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues
